Bio

U SPORTS Academic All-Canadian : 2018-19, 2019-20

Winner of the 2019-20 Garnet and Grey Community Engagement Award which recognizes a student-athlete who has gone above and beyond to contribute to their community, whether it be on campus or off. Gordon, a second-year accounting student, is a key leader on the swim team who scored big points at the RSEQ championships in the backstroke events and on the relays, narrowly missing qualifying for nationals. He is a Co-Founder of the Ottawa Burger Fest which raised funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association. On campus he volunteers with Telfer International as the External Director, helping to promote diversity in the Telfer School of Management. Last summer he participated in an AIESEC trip to Mexico as an environmental volunteer, participating in the creation and implementation of environmental projects at a local university.
