Are you a student-journalist with a passion for university sports in Canada? 

Recruitment for the U SPORTS Correspondent Program for the 2019-20 is now open.

The U SPORTS Correspondent Program aims to give student-journalists from across the country the opportunity to write a variety of human-interest stories and profiles on U SPORTS student-athletes and programs. The program, which has grown each year since launching in 2016, also allows participants to promote university sports in Canada, and build their portfolio - a true “by students, for students” initiative.  

At the end of each season, U SPORTS awards the Story of the Year to the correspondent with the best article that is engaging, and has a strong storytelling narrative, while also recognizing one outstanding writer with the Correspondent of the Year award. The Globe and Mail – U SPORTS’ official media partner – serves as the presenting sponsoring of the awards, supporting grassroots journalism and celebrating student sports journalism in Canada.

This past season, Jessica Carmichael from McMaster University and Alex Cyr from the University of Windsor were honoured.
