Black presence
Concordia’s Black Presence Hub is a space where Black students, faculty and staff can access culturally relevant resources, services and more. It’s intended to foster flourishing, support, community, and knowledge sharing, both on and off campus.

From Stigma to Support: Changing the Conversation on Black Mental Health
Feb. 26 - Join a discussion with Dr. Myrna Lashley in collaboration with McGill University that explores the stigma and current state of Black mental health in Canada, highlighting both best practices and the biases that shape clinical care. Details and registration.
Black identity and presence
The term “Black” is used throughout the hub as an identifier that unifies the identities and experiences of Black, sub-Saharan African, Afro-descendant, and Afro-diasporic communities.
Members of these communities may or may not use the word “Black” as their identifier and may or may not bear visible markers from these communities.
Join us in celebrating Black excellence and fostering a supportive and inclusive campus at Concordia.
