Living Planet Leaders at Concordia
Because of its ambitious and comprehensive nature, the Living Planet Leader designation will be included as one of the optional criteria to qualify for the new Leadership in Environmental Sustainability Shuffle Award, an undergraduate award created from funds raised by the Shuffle for the Climate team in September 2019. The award will be offered for the first time in 2021-2022.
It will also be made available as an option on the co-curricular record. If a student's activities under Living Planet Leader are not already included as valid activities through the co-curricular record, the student can use the "Living Planet Leader" position to gain co-curricular credit.
