Vote Note. Diving for gold. NaNa ED.
Concordia in the news
Posted on July 9, 2015
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:
- Several media pick up a Canadian Press brief about a new smartphone application developed by Concordia journalism student Matthew Heuman to help young voters sort out election-related information. The tool, designed to combat voter apathy, notably among younger Canadians, uses GPS technology to identify a given voter's riding district. It also provides relevant candidate names, polling station locations and a clock that counts down to election day, expected in October: CTVNews.ca, Huffington Post, Metro News, Prince Albert Daily Herald and iPolitics. City News (Toronto) runs the unabridged version of the Canadian Press report, in which Heuman is quoted.
- Examiner.com reports that Concordia student Carol-Anne Ware and her teammate, University of Victoria student Celina Toth, won the gold medal for Canada in the women’s 10-metre synchronized diving event at the 2015 World University Games in Gwangju, South Korea.
- Communication student Emmanuelle Côté writes a piece in NaNa Toulouse about ED, a new fashion and accessories brand launched by television host and comic Ellen DeGeneres.
