Acadia University's Department of Athletics celebrated the achievement of 79 Canadian Interuniversity Sport 2011-12 Academic All-Canadians today during the Acadia Academic All-Canadian luncheon held annually on its campus.
University senior administrators, staff and faculty members joined together to recognize the accomplishment of those who were deemed Academic All-Canadians by the standards set by the CIS.
The University's unique status as the Nation's top academic achiever per capita was celebrated with Acadia boasting 33.5 per cent of its student-athletes as Academic All-Canadians, compared to the national average of 27 per cent.
Acadia's Director of Athletics, Kevin Dickie, praised the accomplishments of Acadia's student-athletes - both athletically and academically.
"Along with having four teams presently ranked in the CIS Top 10 of Canada athletically and great community initiatives that we are involved in at this time, including the RCMP’s WITS program and the Annapolis Valley Regional School Board partnership, it is amazing to consider that we lead the country in the highest percentage of Academic All-Canadians based on the size of the institution,” he said. Congratulations to our 79 Academic All-Canadians for 2011-12.”
