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:  

  • Israelly Cool reports on an alleged incident in the Hall Building where a Jewish student, identified as Howard Silbiger, was confronted by a young man who told him to remove his Yarmulke. Silbiger refused and stared the man down. 
  • The Montreal Gazette reports on yesterday's news conference at the Shriners Hospital announcing the 30th edition of the Canada Shrine Bowl in Montreal (Stingers player Maurice Simba pictured). The game between the Stingers and the Bishops Gaiters will be held at Concordia Stadium this Saturday afternoon at two.
