Gee-Gees celebrate academic achievements from 2024-25

The University of Ottawa hosted a breakfast reception on Thursday morning to recognize the student-athletes from 2024-2025 who achieved academic honours while representing the Garnet and Grey.

A total of 394 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, 16 student-athletes achieved a perfect 10.0 annual GPA, while 113 were named U SPORTS Academic All-Canadians as they consumed one year of U SPORTS eligibility in 2024-25.

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 Gee-Gees teams, or did not use U SPORTS eligibility.

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, with permission.
