When Abby Scott joined the Outstanding Scholars program, she was not expecting to be listed as first author on a book chapter before she finished her undergrad.  

The fourth-year sport management and leadership student didn’t even know what Outstanding Scholars was until she was invited to enrol in the program during her second year as a student-athlete on the women’s volleyball team.

When UWindsor Sport Management and Leadership alumna Cailey Theos (MHK ’21) recalls her experience with the program, she describes it as being part of a family. 

From faculty, staff and peers to alumni and internship partners, she says “everybody that works within the program cares so much about everybody’s success. It feels so authentic.”
