The City University of New York Athletic Conference annually recognizes its best and brightest student-athletes, who not only excel in athletics, but succeed in the classroom as well. Over the next few weeks, CUNYAC will recognize those who truly embody what it means to be a student-athlete.
Megan Jajeh, a member of the Brooklyn College women's basketball team, carries an impressive 3.67 grade-point average as a Women's and Gender Studies major. A native of San Francisco, Calif, Jajeh transferred to Brooklyn after spending two years at the College of San Mateo (CA).
Jajeh appeared in 24 games for the Bulldogs in 2019-20, helping the program capture their second CUNYAC Women's Basketball Championship in three seasons. The guard scored a career-high 22 points in a conference victory over Lehman, while dishing out a season-best five assists in a league win against Medgar Evers.
Off the court, Megan has flourished within her major at Brooklyn, receiving the 2020 Women and Gender Studies Program scholarship.
