As a next-generation university, Concordia sets its sights further and more broadly than others. We align the quality of learning opportunities to larger trends and substantial challenges facing society. We pursue technology without losing sight of our humanity. We find inspiration through narrative and dialogue.
Concordia University is welcoming, engaged, and committed to innovation and excellence in education, research, creative activity and community partnerships. It dares to be different and draws on its diversity to transform the individual, strengthen society and enrich the world.
This partnership between BHER and Concordia University will deliver three equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) focused program streams. These programs will support inclusive placements for equity-deserving students, on-campus WIL placements, and strengthen opportunities for students to reflect upon and articulate the skills they gain during work experiences.
