The Athletics & Recreation department honoured its top students Tuesday afternoon at the annual Awards & Scholarships Reception. The event was held at the Second Student Centre, located on York University's Keele campus.
This reception recognizes student-athletes who have won various awards and bursaries for the 2018-2019 academic year. All award and bursary recipients experienced success within both the classroom and their sport in the previous year. In addition to honouring hard-working student-athletes, the evening also provided the department with an opportunity to thank its generous donors who make many of the awards possible.
Awards and scholarships are highly sought after by student-athletes and have a tremendous impact on their university careers.
