About Concordia

Our strategic directions set out our vision for the future and exemplify our daring and transformative approach to some of the most important issues of our time.

In Montreal, one of North America’s favourite student cities, the critical mass of youthful enthusiasm creates a palpable feeling that anything is possible.

Whether working with businesses or citizens, the most enriching learning involves hands-on experiences beyond the classroom, ensuring the material is always current and relevant.

Concordia is dedicated to addressing and challenging anti-Black systemic racism and being inclusive and accessible to Black students, staff and faculty and fostering relationships with Black communities. The work of the Black Perspectives Office is rooted in an anti-racist and anti-oppressive framework and informed by generations of Black students and community activism. The NouLa Centre supports the collective success and wellbeing of Black Concordia students through programming, services and resources.

Concordia acknowledges that it is situated on unceded Indigenous lands and recognizes the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation as the custodians of the surrounding lands and waters. The university is committed to truth and reconciliation and ongoing Indigenous issues. Indigenous Directions is the movement to decolonize and indigenize the university. First Nations, Inuit and Métis students may find on-campus community and assistance through the Otsenhákta Student Centre. The Indigenous Decolonization Hub promotes the integration of Indigenous Peoples’ diverse intellectual, cultural, agricultural and scientific knowledge systems in pedagogical practices.

Concordians have access to Le Gym, located in the EV Building on Concordia's downtown campus, and the PERFORM Gym, located at the Loyola campus.
