Adolescence chronicle. Conservative standard bearer. Hydro bursary. Fair fares.
Concordia in the news

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:
- Computer Science student Hugo Cornellier continues to make news with his life-long project to chronicle the ageing process by taking a daily laptop selfie. MTV News, the latest to pick up the story, provides a time-lapse video of Cornellier as he grows from a 12-year old boy into a 20-year old man.
- A CBC.ca profile of the Montreal riding of Saint-Léonard–Saint-Michel mentions that Concordia economics student Jean Philippe Fournier is carrying the Conservative Party banner in the riding for this month's federal election. The article is reprised by Yahoo! News.
- The Suburban writes about the recent award of a bursary from Hydro-Quebec and the Foundation for Athletic Excellence to competitive wrestler Linda Morais, a student in the Exercise Science Program.
- Laurence Parent, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Humanities and a member of the Critical Disability Studies working group at Concordia, is featured in a QMI article. Parent calls for special transit fares for reduced-mobility users and bases her demand on the argument that reduced-mobility users have less access to the transit system and its services. The article appears in Le Journal de Montréal and TVANouvelles.ca.
