The Bert Dejeet Memorial Scholastic Award was presented to Nur Osman (Baseball - Criminology), Tyson Eteli (Men’s Basketball - Advertising), Morgan Kelly (Women’s Soccer – Fitness and Health Promotion) and Shannon Lucas (Women’s Soccer – General Arts) for having the Top Overall GPA of all varsity student-athletes.
Earning national recognition was Kerri Fotherby (Women’s Volleyball - Youth Corrections & Intervention), Erin Emery (Women’s Basketball – 911 Emergency) and Morgan Kelly (Women’s Soccer – Fitness & Health Promotion) as they earned the SIRC-CCAA Academic All Canadian Award.
