On behalf of the entire Intramural program, we would like to say thank you for your participation in this year’s Leagues, Tournaments, and Events. We are incredibly excited to announce the recipients of a brand-new award for students: the Robert Gayton Leadership in Recreation Award.
Award Creation Background
Robert (Bob) Gayton was a member of the UBC Rowing team and the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, and was President of the Bachelor of Commerce Student Society in 1962. Bob enjoyed the time he spent participating in Intramurals while a student, and created this award to give current UBC Students extra financial support so that they have the time and opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities.
The Robert Gayton Leadership Award in Recreation was created to recognize UBC Students who have demonstrated leadership, sense of fair play, and active community building through long-standing participation in one or more UBC Recreation programs.
Adjudication, Awards, & Ceremony
Adjudication of the awards was done by a committee made up of Athletics & Recreation Professionals, Student Staff, and Volunteers. Six (6) awards of $500 was distributed and presented in a ceremony held on Monday, April 3, 2023 at UBC.
