For many Canadians, it is hard to imagine living in a country populated as densely as India. Home to 1.19 billion people, India supports over 15 per cent of the world’s population, while only occupying 2.4 per cent of the world’s land mass. Not only is this a huge population that is increasing daily, but also with an average age of 25 years, it’s a population in need of education. That’s where the University of Lethbridge just might be able to help.
The University of Lethbridge is proud to congratulate the 30 student-athletes who have been recognized as Academic All-Canadians. Athletes need to maintain an 80 per cent average in academics to earn the All-Canadian honour.
Following is a list of Pronghorns who excelled both athletically and academically throughout the 2009-2010 year.
