Office of Student Life & Engagement
We're ready to help you make the most of your experience at Concordia.
Who we are
The Office of Student Life and Engagement (SLE) is dedicated to supporting and promoting all aspects of student life that happen beyond the classroom. We work closely with student groups and leaders, celebrate student engagement, provide support for student-led initiatives and ensure your voice is heard at Concordia.
Enriching your student experience
Our work complements your academic journey with opportunities to meet peers, develop new skills, have fun and make a positive impact on the Concordia community.
We base our work around three guiding pillars:
- It's all about relationships.
- How we do things is as important as what we do.
- We’re all in this together.

These small groups of new students—called "pods"—help you meet friends, gain skills and navigate university life together.
We support student groups and organizations
We work with Concordia’s student unions, associations and clubs to help you get connected and make things happen. Student groups register with the Office of Student Life and Engagement to access resources and host events on campus.
We also support planning for major activities like Orientation/Frosh, helping to ensure those events are safe, successful and fun.
We celebrate student-led projects and engagement
We recognize, fund and honour the work students do to make Concordia and their communities better. Get your engagement recognized, or nominate a Concordian for their impact:
