VoteNote. The importance of voting. AMT service interruption. Campaign volunteers. Frédérick Roy with the Stingers.

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:  

• The Huffington Post publishes a blog entry by journalism students Matthew Heuman and Thierry Tardif about their VoteNote mobile application. The app uses GPS technology to identify a given voter's riding district and provide relevant riding information.
• Global News Montreal, reporting on the options available to voters on election day, talks to several Concordia students about the importance of voting. The unidentified students appear at the 1:14 mark. Journalism student Thierry Tardif also appears in the report, at the 2:03 mark, to talk about the Vote Note mobile app mentioned in the previous item.
• Concordia student Eric Davies is quoted in a Global News Montreal report about the suspension of AMT commuter train service in the west island during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Davies, who first appears at the 37-second mark, says spotty commuter train service forced him to move downtown from St-Anne-de-Bellevue to attend regular classes at Concordia. 
• The Back of the Book webzine publishes a piece profiling two federal election campaign volunteers, both Concordians: Communications student Mira Ahmad, the campaign manager for Liberal candidate in Outremont riding, Rachel Bendayen; and political science student Nicole Cummings, also working for the Bendayen campaign.
• A Radio-Canada sports blogger writes about the decision by Frédérick Roy, son of former Canadiens goaltender Patrick Roy, to study at Concordia and play for the Stingers men's hockey team.
