Students

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:  

  • A CNW/Telbec release announces that Concordia student Marie-Pier Corbeil and her brother David, who studies at UQAM, will share a $50,000 bursary from the Bourses Pierre Péladeau 2015, awarded to young Quebec entrepreneurs. The two were selected for the prize for their launch of a company called Recharge Véhicule Électrique, which has developed a system that adapts residential electrical systems for electric vehicle charging. The release is picked up by Le Lézard, TD Waterhouse,  Stockhouse and Québecor. Canoe Argent and the UQAM news service also write about the award to the Corbeil duo.
  • The St. Thomas University news service writes that Katelyn Brinkman is the first graduate from that university to be accepted into Concordia's art therapy master’s program. The article mentions that Concordia's is the only master’s level professional training program in art therapy in Canada.
