Commemorating academic accomplishments from the 2022-23 academic year, the Brock Badgers proudly acknowledged 261 student-athletes during its annual Celebration of Academic Excellence.<\/p>\n
Bestowed during a ceremony in Pond Inlet on the morning of Wednesday, Jan. 17, the Badgers\u2019 Academic Excellence Award recognizes student-athletes who attain an average of 80 per cent or higher within their respective programs of study.<\/p>\n
Recipients were presented with a certificate and pin during the annual Celebration of Academic Excellence Breakfast. As student-athletes attain honour roll status in subsequent years, they will receive an additional, distinct pin each year, symbolizing their ongoing academic success.<\/p>\n
“We are proud of the academic triumphs of our student-athletes, who have excelled in their studies while proudly representing Brock University in competitive sports,\u201d said Melissa Krist, Executive Director of Brock Sports and Recreation. \u201cThis event signifies a momentous occasion as we enthusiastically celebrate our commitment to scholastic distinction.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to institutional accolades, a total of 125 Badgers qualified as 2022-23 U SPORTS Academic All-Canadians. These are student-athletes who maintain an academic standing of 80 per cent or higher while participating in a U SPORTS-sanctioned sport.<\/p>\n
