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:
- CJAD.com reports the creation of the CJAD Gord Sinclair bursaries for Concordia journalism students. Six bursaries of $2,500 each will be awarded to students in the Concordia journalism program over the next three years. The winners of this year's bursaries, Chris Aitkens and Nathalie Laflamme, will also join CJAD News this year for a summer internship.
- Humanities doctoral candidate Laura Shine is interviewed for Radio Canada International (through a Spanish interpreter) about entomophagy — the consumption of insects as food.
- Montreal Rampage, writing about the stage play Punk Rock, on now at the Centaur Theatre, notes that the cast consists of current students and recent graduates from the theatre programs at Concordia and Dawson College.
- Sheima Benembarek (BA, English literature, creative writing, 2009) writes a piece in the Torontoist about her move to Canada from Africa and her assimilation in her adopted country.
