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:  

  • Journal Métro publishes a piece describing the solar house design prepared by a team of Concordia and McGill students — 'Team Mtl' — entered in the international Solar Decathlon, an ecological home design competition to be held next year in Dezhou, China. Concordia design student Sandra Alexandre-Aimé is quoted in the article, which notes that Concordia students designed the forty solar panels for the house's roof. 'Team Mtl' is comprised of more than 50 students from Concordia's Faculties of Fine Arts, Engineering and Computer Science, and the John Molson School of Business and McGill's School of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering and Desautels Faculty of Management. 
  • The Université de Montréal student paper, Quartier Libre, references a recent news conference with the Concordia Student Union, which is critical of the Quebec government for rejecting applications by numerous international students for their certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ), despite having passed the province's french proficiency course.
  • Stingers women's rugby player Émilie Bélanger is featured in a piece in Le Soleil about women's football. Bélanger is playing this year in the Women's Football Alliance (WFA) and the Western Women's Canadian Football League (WWCFL).
