On behalf of the Concordia University community, I would like to express our profound sorrow at the loss of life of the five students who died in Calgary this week.
More than 20 years ago the Concordia community experienced a profound tragedy of its own. Senseless acts of violence cause intense grief throughout an academic community.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of those who have died, and with the academic communities of the University of Calgary, Mount Royal University and the Alberta College of Art and Design.
Alan Shepard
President
