Dance champ. Game Lab competition. Art educator. Slavery in Montreal. "Gilmore Girls".

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:  

• Undergraduate student Lucas Lawton, finishing his second year in communication studies, is featured in theMontreal Gazette after winning the championship trophy at a recent Irish dance competition in Glasgow, Scotland.
• A CNW release lists teams of students from Concordia among the winners at the recent 2016 Ubisoft Game Lab Competition: one group of Concordians won a $2,000 prize for best quality of camera, characters and controls for its video game prototype 'Radiant Crusade'; a second group from Concordia, teamed up with students from McGill, won $2,000 for best creativity and theme integration for the game, 'Lumina'. The release is picked up by Le Lézard, Globe Advisor and Shaw Connect. Radio Canada International posts a text story about the competition.
• Art educator Jethro Gillespie, currently working on his PhD in art education at Concordia, is profiled in an article in the Utah Valley Daily Herald.
• Concordia Masters student Gregory Coulter, currently researching slavery in Quebec, is quoted in a piece on Mtl Blog listing what the author says are little-known facts about Montreal, including the presence in the city of over 1,500 slaves when slavery was still allowed in Canada, until 1833.
• Lifestyle blogger and Concordia history student Miranda Cipolla, writing in Mtl Blog, lists the John Molson School of Business among the educational institutions she says make Canada great. In a separate piece for Mtl Blog, Cipolla, writing about the lead characters in the 'Gilmore Girls' television series, likens the sometimes-mellow, sometimes-gritty personality of character Rory Gilmore to Concordia university, with its two distinct campuses, one deemed grittier than the other.
