Meet Zachary White 
Management Representative 

     Hey Concordia, I’m Zac, a 3 third year management student emphasizing in accounting and the management rep for this year. I came to Concordia after earning my EMR and doing auto body for 2.5 years.
​
     I immediately felt welcome to the school because of the small class sizes and involved student bodies. In my second year I joined the CMC as the VP of Marketing which solidified my interest in being involved with the CSA in a more direct role. In the next year I want to better communicate with the Management students about changes happening within the faculty, provide support if they need it when voicing their concerns, and grow the networking conference to provide more students with the connections needed for job and practicum opportunities.  I look forward to the coming school year, and the opportunities inside and outside of the classroom.

Meet Alex Bedard
Science Representative 

     Hello Concordia! My name is Alex and I am a 3rd year science student. I will be your student science representative for the 2016-2017 academic year.

​     Along with being the science rep, I am also the Concordia Science Society president, which is a group that puts on science themed events for science students, and the rest of the school! I was also in these two positions last year as some of you may recall.

     My goals for this year include to listen to the concerns of science students, hold science oriented events for the school, and work with our dean and faculty to make science at Concordia even better than it already is, for staff and students alike. I look forward to an amazing year!
