Message from
the Interim Dean
I’m honoured to take on this role at Concordia and to continue working closely with our graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, as well as our faculty and staff. Graduate students and postdocs are a vital part of Concordia’s academic community, and supporting their success is a top priority at the School of Graduate Studies.
The School is here to provide guidance, share knowledge and help shape the future of research and education for our students, researchers, faculty and staff.
In a time of fast technological change and global challenges, it’s more important than ever to evolve while staying true to what Concordia stands for: accessible relevant education and innovative research.
With two campuses, modern facilities and a diverse and dedicated community, Concordia is well-positioned for the future. I look forward to creating new opportunities for our community to grow, collaborate and thrive both within and beyond the university.
– Geoff Dover
Interim Dean of Graduate Studies
