Dean of Management

About Concordia University of Edmonton

In the ordinary university, belonging is not a certainty.

As students move from cavernous theatre to massive hall, they seek what they have been promised by post-secondary institutions all their lives. Close and supportive friends. Faculty mentors and allies for life. Extraordinary growth and profound experiences.

Perhaps students find what they yearn for there. Perhaps not.

Here, at Concordia University of Edmonton, we rally around that central promise in everything we do and all that we build. We say to students : if you join us, you will belong.
