Montreal, February 26, 2014 – Concordia University is proud to announce it is the first university in Montreal to partner with La Vitrine, Montreal’s Cultural Window. Concordia’s partnership with La Vitrine will allow Montrealers to discover the wealth of diverse cultural activities available on both Concordia’s Sir George Williams and Loyola campuses, while also sharing La Vitrine’s cultural programming and activities with the Concordia community.
“La Vitrine is a vital cultural hub for Montreal,” says Alan Shepard, president of Concordia University. “This commitment demonstrates our desire to promote the city as a cultural metropolis and the range of cultural events offered in Montreal and at Concordia with the public and as well as our students, from here and abroad.”
Manuela Goya, Secretary-General of Montréal, Cultural Metropolis, warmly welcomes this partnership: “Universities play a key role in promoting Montreal as a cultural metropolis. The partnership between La Vitrine and Concordia University confirms once again that education and culture are closely linked and are truly inseparable.”
