Community outreach

The SCPA regularly fulfills an outreach mission that has significantly contributed to Concordia's visibility outside the university. It is central to the role of SCPA faculty, fellows and staff to extend the educational mission of the School beyond the immediate needs of its students to include the community at large.

Through numerous, free-access public lectures, symposia, and public debates organized by its members, the School brings in scholars, activists, and policy makers of national and international reputation. As such, the SCPA acts as an important forum in the Montreal area for the discussion and understanding of the key policy, public affairs and community issues of our times.
