Daniel Jouanneau, the French ambassador to Canada (left), was welcomed to Concordia by President Claude Lajeunesse on April 3, along with François Alabrune, the French Consul-General to Quebec City, and several consular officers.

The group toured the labs of computer scientists Ching Suen and Sofiène Tahar and digital artist Barbara Layne, and met with JMSB Dean Jerry Tomberlin. They also chatted with Thomas Coutelen, one of Concordia’s many students from France, before meeting with members of the President’s Cabinet.
