Dear [FIRSTNAME],
Each year, the President’s Report tries to capture a little of the excitement and momentum felt daily across Concordia’s campuses. And, as we celebrate our 50th anniversary, the 2025 edition feels particularly inspiring.
In it, you will find a vivid portrait of a young university that stands out by offering rich student experiences, leading impactful research and artistic practice, and forging game-changing collaborations.
Unfortunately, recent government policies related to enrolment, funding and institutional autonomy have created profound, systemic challenges for Concordia. To continue to excel, the university has no other choice but to reimagine what we do and how we do it. This work has already begun.
In the report, you’ll discover that Concordians are planting the seeds for a new business model — one that deepens connections with likeminded partners, unleashes the full potential of our world-class talent and infrastructure, and realigns our mission with the greatest needs of the communities we serve.
Thank you to all Concordia’s supporters for your ongoing commitment and contributions. I hope you will continue to keep in touch — and maybe ask how you can get more involved — as we develop and pursue a compelling vision for what our university can become in its next 50 years.
I invite you to visit the President’s Report website to learn more and read the full document.
Graham Carr
President and Vice-Chancellor
