Gee-Gees celebrate academic achievements from 2022-23

The University of Ottawa hosted a reception on Wednesday evening to recognize the student-athletes from 2022-2023 who achieved academic honours while representing the Garnet and Grey.

A total of 329 student-athletes maintained an annual grade point average of 80 per cent or better last year, or took part in graduate program while also being a member of a Gee-Gees team.  

The recipients represent all Gee-Gees teams and all faculties at the University of Ottawa. Among the recipients, 11 student-athletes achieved a perfect 10.0 annual GPA, while 108 were named U SPORTS Academic All-Canadians.

"We are all very proud that the University of Ottawa is a place where academics and athletics can excel hand in hand," said Sue Hylland, Director of Recreation and Varsity Sport, speaking to the recipients at the event. "Every week we have athletic highlights, and every day you are rising to the challenge of fully embracing the rich academic experience that this university provides."

The evening also featured a special presentation made to Kennedy Burrows, an academic award recipient from the Faculty of Social Sciences who was recently named the Canadian University Rowing Athlete of the Year following her gold medal performance at the national championships in the lightweight singles. 

The U SPORTS Academic All-Canadians have been celebrated officially since 1988 and the award is a nationally recognized distinction. The RSEQ and OUA conferences and uOttawa have also created Academic Merit programs to recognize those who compete at the conference or non-conference level on Varsity Club teams. 

The complete list of award recipients is below, organized by team. Those with a 10.0 AGPA are indicated with their field of study in brackets.
