MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN OUR WORLD

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

It’s impossible not to be immensely proud of what our community accomplished in 2022. Our women’s hockey team won gold at the U Sports national championship. One of our varsity wrestlers received the Tom Longboat Award, which honours top Indigenous athletes in Canada. We announced our first McCall MacBain Scholar, one of 20 chosen from 700 applicants, two Vanier Scholars and a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow. 

Three of our faculty were inducted into the Royal Society of Canada and one won a Governor General’s Literary Award. A recent grad won the BMO 1st Art! competition prize for Quebec while another fine  
arts student had their design featured on a Truth and Reconciliation keepsake coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint.

A 3D printing technique developed at Concordia with implications for treating human health was named by Quebec Science a top 10 scientific discovery of the year while a journalism project on environmental leadership in Inukjuak earned international attention at COP 15. 

We launched an entrepreneurial postdoc program that’s unique in Canada and opened a new space for community partners to work with Concordia through the SHIFT Centre for Social Transformation. 

We’re fulfilling the recommendations of the President’s Task Force on Anti-Black Racism, including extending an apology for the mishandling of the largest anti-Black racism protest in Canada and its consequences for students. 

To align student success with fairness, equality and inclusion, we created an Accessibility Hub for students and announced our commitment to offer all undergraduates an experiential learning opportunity as part of their academic program.  

We’re coming off a record year of fundraising and, to put it simply, it’s a great time for Concordia.
