Message from the president: ‘The momentum at our next-gen university continues’
Dear Concordians,
I hope you’ve had a great summer and are as excited about the new academic year as I am.
It’s sure to be as full of discovery and success as last year, when Concordia students:
- Served as Public Scholars, bringing rigour to conversations on the gig economy, emerging food practices and more
- Simulated Mars gravity through controlled plunges on a Falcon 20 airplane
- Tackled hate speech with a Concordia professor and UNESCO co-chair in the Prevention of Radicalization and Violent Extremism
- Earned five podium finishes at MBA case competitions in Canada.
The momentum at our next-gen university continues.
We’re climbing global university rankings.
We’re already well more than halfway to our $250 M goal in our Campaign for Concordia.
And thanks to consultations with students, faculty and staff, we’re making great progress on our Digital Strategy, a key piece of our Strategic Directions.
It all adds up to another year of record applications and enrolment. The word is out – the world needs more Concordia!
You can be part of the buzz at Shuffle 29 on September 28.
It’s a great time to be at Concordia. Take Pride!
Alan Shepard
President
