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 continuation of the Robert Gayton Leadership Award in Recreation for 2024!
This award was established to honour UBC students who exemplify leadership, sense of fair play, and active community building through their dedicated involvement in one or more UBC Recreation programs. Preference will be given to students actively engaged in the Intramural Program.
We invite you to nominate deserving candidates for this prestigious award. Nominations will close on Monday, April 1 at midnight:
Award Creation Background:
The Robert Gayton Leadership Award in Recreation honours Robert (Bob) Gayton, a former member of the UBC Rowing team and the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. Bob, who served as President of the Bachelor of Commerce Student Society in 1962, cherished his time participating in intramurals as a student. He established this award to provide current UBC students with additional financial support, enabling them to engage in extracurricular activities.
Adjudication, Awards & Ceremony:
The adjudication of awards will be conducted by a committee comprised of Athletics & Recreation Professionals, Student Staff, and Volunteers. In 2024, a total of 8 awards, each valued at $500, will be distributed. The award ceremony is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, April 10, at UBC. Recipients will be contacted directly and invited to attend the award ceremony.
