Balancing academic excellence with a sports career requires great resilience. During her remarks at the ceremony, Sandrine ISOARD GAUTHEUR (Professor of Social Psychology at the SENS Laboratory - UGA) noted that students may face a kind of “conflict” between university studies and athletic performance, but that university studies and sports can also complement and enrich one another. 

Thanks to this commitment, UGA became the French university that enrolled the highest percentage of elite student-athletes in 2022–2023 (9.3%), ahead of the University of Bordeaux (4.6%) and the University of Savoie Mont Blanc (3.8%). It is worth noting that among the 51 UGA athletes and recent graduates who competed this winter at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics were two students from Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA.
