Lunch with the Omaha Oracle. Identity thieves. French immersion pioneers. ASSÉ and court costs.

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:  

• La Presse + reports on last Friday's trip to Omaha, Nebraska by a group of Concordia business students for a four-hour meeting with famed investor Warren Buffet, as described in the "Our experts" section, above. JMSB alumnus Philippe Hynes, who was on the trip. is quoted throughout.
• Concordia’s incident involving keyloggers is mentioned in a TVA Nouvelles report on a Quebec government campaign to sensitize youths to the dangers of online identity theft. The piece references an incident reported last spring involving the illicit use of computer keyloggers on a number of Concordia's standing express workstations in the Webster and Vanier libraries. Haddoud, who was on hand for a news conference announcing the government campaign, says her identity was stolen by someone who used her information, allegedly obtained through a keylogger at Concordia, to obtain credit for more than $3,000 worth of purchases made in Haddoud's name. 
• Translation Studies master's student Ardeth Neale is quoted in a story in the Montreal Gazette about three women who are credited with sparking a Canada-wide French-immersion education revolution with a local initiative in southshore St-Lambert, in the mid-1960's. Neale, who previously completed a BA in education at Concordia ('91), is the daughter of Valerie Neale — one of the three co-founders of the initial St-Lambert French-immersion program.
• The Université de Montréal student paper Quartier Libre reports that the Concordia Student Union voted earlier this year to contribute to a fund managed by the Association pour une solidarité syndicale étudiante (ASSÉ) to help cover the legal costs of UQAM students arrested during campus protests in April, 2015.
