Congress Organizing Committees

Currently, over 50 full- and part-time Concordians are involved in preparing for Congress 2010 – all with duties they’ve accepted above and beyond their day-to-day jobs. A collective effort of a growing number of faculty staff and student volunteers, we're exceptionally proud to be working together toward one of the biggest events in Concordia's history.

For a more details of the progress of Congress 2010, please see Congress 2010 gets down to business from the Sept. 3, 2009 issue of the Concordia Journal.
