Multi-faith Celebration
Multi-faith Chaplaincy warmly invites you to the annual Multi-faith Celebration to honour the achievements of our graduating students. Tonight, June 14, at 7:30 p.m., we will host an evening of music, movement, visual art, reflections, meditation and short films. Chaplains, students and alumni have come together to create an evening that is sure to inspire, edify and delight all who attend. The event is free and open to everybody, so please spread the word and invite your friends!
Highlights of this year's event include sacred movement performance; short reflections from leaders and scholars of several faith traditions; a solo by the lead singer of Montreal's Far From Shore; and organic refreshments following the event.
Come join us in the D.B. Clarke Theatre (Hall Building, downtown campus). For further information please contact Tracey Fisher at Tracey.Fisher@concordia.ca or 514-848-2424 ext. 3593.
Rights Here!
Theatre, law and activism combine to form Rights Here!, a community-based Human Rights Education project that uses theatre to engage young people from culturally diverse populations in dialogue about human rights with a larger Montreal community. Concordia University’s Department of Theatre, in collaboration with Teesri Duniya Theatre and the Park Extension Youth Organization (PEYO), draws on traditions of Indian Street Theatre to tackle themes such as “reasonable” accommodation and community representation in the media. With acrobatics, giant puppets, singing and dancing, Rights Here! is large, lively, fun, and suitable for the entire family.
Performances June 14 (June 15 in case of rain): Mont Royal Metro at 3 p.m.; Howard Park at 7 p.m. (Liège between Querbes & De l'Épée). More performances later in the month.
Concordia students are participating in all aspects of creating, performing, and evaluating Rights Here! All performances are free. For more information, contact PEYO at 514-278-7396 ext. 233.
REACH Summer Science Camp
The REACH Summer Science Camp, one of Montreal’s foremost educational and fun camps, was established in 1989 by three students from Concordia’s Engineering and Computer Science Association and McGill’s Engineering Undergraduate Society. Unlike many summer camps, it promotes and fosters an interest in science, technology and engineering in children through thought-provoking demonstrations and hands-on experiments.

Fine Arts Exhibition
The Fifth Annual Fine Arts Graduating Students’ Exhibition series series features both visual and cinematic arts happening in three buildings in five different locations with 40 Concordia artists participating. This exhibition aims to showcase the exceptional talents of artists from Concordia University who are graduating from our Fine Arts programmes at this time. A Faculty of Fine Arts co-production with the Concordia University Alumni Association, this event remarks the transition of our most notable young artists from students into alumni. The Fifth Annual Graduating Students' Exhibition is a one of a kind event featuring film, video and every different kind of visual art one can imagine. For more info: gradshow.concordia.ca/
