TORONTO - The Ryerson Department of Athletics and Recreation, in partnership with the President's Office, celebrated the academic accomplishments of a record 88 student-athletes on Friday, January 22 at the annual Devon Lord Brooks Platinum event. This year's edition was celebrated on Zoom, in lieu of a physical event.

Among the 88 student-athletes recognized, 61 were U SPORTS Academic All-Canadians while 27 were OUA Academic Achievement Award winners. The 88 winners surpassed the previous record of 77 student-athletes honoured in the 2017-18 season. This year's group of winners is particularly impressive, having persevered through the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic which disrupted the end of the 2019-20 academic calendar. These awards are a true testament to the dedication and desire to excel academically.

Also celebrated at the event were the Devon Lord Brooks Scholarship award winners. The distinguished award goes to a full-time student-athlete in an undergraduate or graduate studies program with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.67 and who contributes back to the community.
