Vote Note. FIFA blues. Steamroller. Caribbean internship.

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:  

• CBC.ca and ChrisD.ca join news outlets that have picked up an earlier Canadian Press story about a new smartphone application whose developer, Concordia journalism student Matthew Heuman, hopes to combat voter apathy, notably among younger Canadians, by making it easier for voters to sort through election-related information. The Vote Note app 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.  
• The Manitoban runs a story about Canada's participation in the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup written by Julian McKenzie, a Concordia student and sports editor at The Link.
• Baron Mag announces the Steamroller Project, taking place Saturday, July 18 in Val-David, north of Montreal. The project, a collaborative effort of a group of fine arts students in the print media concentration and the Atelier de l’île artists' cooperative, involves the creation of large woodcut prints using a steamroller.
• The Jamaica Gleaner reprises an earlier article profiling four international students, including JMSB marketing student Ukpong Etang, who have been accepted for a five-week summer internship with the GraceKennedy Group of Companies in Jamaica.
