Nine outstanding scholar-athletes from the University of Rochester have been chosen as Provost's Circle Scholars during the 2022-23 academic year.
 
This year's induction ceremony will take place on Monday, April 24 at the Patrick Barry House, with the official presentation being conducted by University Provost David Figlio.
 
Every year, the Department of Athletics & Recreation submits names of individuals to be honored for this award. The honorees have the highest cumulative grade point averages among the junior class who are currently competing with one of the University's 23 intercollegiate athletic programs.
