Students in the news
Current students at Concordia do outstanding academic work and get involved in community projects that improve our quality of life. See what they've been up to:
- 24 Heures features a story about UQAM’s Ras-le-bol initiative, which feeds its students free healthy vegan meals and mentions that Concordia’s People’s Potato have been helping members of Ras-le-bol prepare meals at Concordia before transporting them to UQAM: Le Journal de Montréal and TVA Nouvelles.
- The Montreal Gazette interviews Concordia student, David Koen, about why he and McGill student, Guillermo Perez, choose to screen the film, The Room, several times a year despite it being labeled as the “Citizen Kane of bad movies,” by a St. Cloud State University professor. The film was most recently screened on Saturday, November 16 at the J.A. DeSève Cinema.
- Les Affaires publishes an article about Prime Minister Stephen Harper speaking at the Chambre de commerce du Montréal metropolitan on Friday, November 15. The article mentions that many protesters gathered outside the Palais des congress where Harper was speaking, including the Groupe de recherché d’intérêt à Concordia (GRIP Concordia/QPIRG Concordia). Le Huffington Post Québec and L’actualité reprise the piece.
