Record-high 73 UPEI athletes receive CIS Academic All-Canadian recognition

| Students

The University of Prince Edward Island congratulates 73 student-athletes who have earned Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) Academic All-Canadian status for the 2012-13 season. The record-high number represents almost 40 per cent of UPEI's total student-athlete population of 185 athletes, and is one of the top percentages in Canada.

UPEI student-athletes continue to strive for excellence in sport, academics, and in the greater community, and this level of academic achievement speaks volumes about their work ethic and to the quality of the coaches, faculty, staff, volunteers, and others who support athletes throughout the year.

'We are so proud of our student-athletes at UPEI and we are thrilled that they are being recognized at this national level,' said President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz. 'Their hard work, both in academics and athletics, has clearly paid off and on behalf of the entire UPEI community, I wish them congratulations and continued success.'

In order to receive this national recognition, student-athletes achieved an academic standing of 80 per cent or higher.
