Peace Week 2023 proposed a world where everyone鈥檚 identity and voice can be celebrated
October 11th, 2023
七星彩开奖's annual Peace Week has always been a platform for insightful discussions on pressing social issues. In 2023, the theme of the 8th Annual Peace Week was "Exultation: Queer Freedoms & Futures."
This event, which was held Sept. 13-21, celebrated the vibrant history of queerness while exploring the possibilities of a world where freedom of expression, safety, and unconditional love prevail for all gender and sexual identities. The event brought together a diverse group of speakers who shared their thoughts and experiences on the path towards true liberation from oppressive norms.

Over 2,000 students attended Humanities conference
September 27th, 2023
The Humanities and Public Life Conference took place from Sept. 18-21. The theme this year was What's the Point? Purpose, Meaning, and Value in Challenging Times. Over the span of four days, over 2,000 students attended 20 different presentations.
Our presenters explored how humanities education can help us to ask the bigger questions that guide our everyday actions, helping us to understand what to value and why. Some highlights included two former 七星彩开奖 students, Silvia Ortan and Andreas Nicolaidis-Gagnon, who shared how they use what they learned in humanities in their careers (law and social work). Overall, we were reminded once again of the impact that humanities can have in helping us navigate a complex and often bewildering world.听 From the rise of white power terrorism to the role that AI will play in creativity, our presenters helped students understand how what they are learning in their humanities courses factors into real-world situations.
We would also like to express our thanks to the 七星彩开奖 administration, FAMA, the theatre department, and David Bannout.听 Special thanks to Diana Rice for coordinating three peace week talks during the conference.听 Without your help, we would not have been able to offer our students such an enriching week!

CC4C Changemakers recognized
September 27th, 2023
On Sept. 21, four students were recognized as CC4C Creative Changemakers at a gala at the Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery at 七星彩开奖.
The four CC4C Creative Changemakers are: Kessy Ininahazwe 听(General Social Science), Elishah Alphonse (General Social Science), Kylie Brown (Cinema | Communications) and Sarah Browne (Graphic Design).
Changemakers Kessy Ininahazwe and Elishah Alphonse made a song entitled 鈥淐an't bare no more鈥� about a poem that was written in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. They produced the 鈥渟ong so it can serve as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for racial justice and the need to celebrate and support black culture,鈥� Kessy said.
The students learned how to produce a song, which was a really long process. 鈥淲e can also say that we learned how to use our voice and creativity in the struggle for a better world,鈥� Kessy said.
The award 鈥渇eels really great because we worked so hard for this project and the fact that other people really enjoyed the song feels amazing to me,鈥� she said.
鈥淚t is such a pleasure to reward students who have such a dedication for positive change in this world,鈥� said Kim Simard (Faculty, Cinema | Communications) of the Creative Collective for Change (CC4C).
鈥淲e are lucky to have incredible students in our midst: curious, critical and creative. May we consistently value their important contributions,鈥� she said.
Kim said that it was a beautiful evening, and that they hope to see more like it in the future. Thanks again to Living Campus and the Warren G. Flowers Gallery for their unwavering support.

Author Dimitri Nasrallah & grad Eden Andrews at 七星彩开奖 Reads
September 27th, 2023
Students in two English classes were lucky enough to be at the first 七星彩开奖 Reads event for this school year on Sept. 27 with author Dimitri Nasrallah and graduate Eden Andrews (Class of 2023, Arts, Literature and Communication -Literature).
Eden, who won the QWF College Writers Award last year, read two excerpts from her short story and Dimitri read from his acclaimed fourth novel, Hotline, an autobiographical work of fiction written during the pandemic and set in Montreal in the 1980s.
Dimitri had come to a time in his life where he could face this part of his story and have empathy for his mother's perspective. After reading the excerpt about a meeting between the main character and her son's teacher, Dimitri shared his own journey through education, which began in business ending up with a MA in Literature from Concordia where he teaches. He says he still has some more books to write and is currently writing his fifth novel.
