DC celebrates student athletes’ academic success Posted on April 6, 2016 at 3:59 pm. The Durham College (DC) athletic department hosted the seventh annual academic luncheon on April 5 celebrating the academic accomplishments of student athletes during the 2015-16 season. This year the Lords had 23 student-athletes who were recognized with Ontario Colleges Athletic Association All-Academic awards. The Bert Dejeet Memorial Scholastic Award was presented to Cailey Giorgi (women’s soccer – Police Foundations) and Alessio Del Gobbo (men’s basketball – Sport Business Management) for having the top overall grade point average (GPA) of all student-athletes at Durham. Nicholas Axhorn of the men’s soccer team was the school’s lone Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) All-Academic award winner. The CCAA award is prestigious as it recognizes excellence in academics and athletics. To achieve the honour, a student-athlete must be named to their respective provincial all-star team in a CCAA sport and must achieve honour roll status. Along with the student-athletes, coaches, family, employees and members of the athletic department were in attendance for the academic luncheon. DC will celebrate the 2015-16 season at the 46th annual Durham College athletic banquet that will take place Thursday, April 7 at the General W. Sikorski Polish Veterans Association Hall in Oshawa.
