Appointment
Laura Stanbra has been appointed Director of Alumni Relations on a contract
extending from this September to May 2003. She reports to Tamas Zsolnay,
Executive Director of University Advancement and Alumni Relations.
Laura started working at Concordia part-time as a student, in 1985. In
the years that followed, she acquired a Bachelor’s in Political Science
and a Master’s in Public Policy and Public Administration.
In 1993, she began to work in the Alumni and Advancement areas of the
university, gaining considerable experience in organizing events and fundraising,
and launching the phone-mail canvassing system. She has spent the past
three years as Acting Director of Annual Giving. We wish Laura all the
best in her new post.
‘Profetic’ words
A Web site has been established by CREPUQ, the conference of Quebec university
rectors, to collect and disseminate information about academic activities
at its member institutions.
The organizers invite all teachers and other scholars to explore the site,
at http://profetic.org/, make suggestions,
and take an active part in this project. The name is from prof and TIC,
which is the acronym for technologies de l’information.
CGA exam results
Dean Mohsen Anvari reports with pride that once again the pass rate of
Concordia students writing the five exams for the designation CGA (certified
general accountant) was a good one — 68 per cent, slightly lower
than that of McGill (72 per cent), but higher than HEC (51 per cent) and
UQAM (53 per cent). Concordia’s pass rate increased to 68 per cent
from 55 per cent over the last three exam periods.
Congratulations to the following students, who distinguished themselves:
Louise Pilon, Management Auditing 1, first in Quebec, fourth in Canada;
Sylvia McCowan, Management Auditing, third in Quebec, eighth in Canada;
Jonathan Krindle, Financial Accounting 4, fifth in Quebec, seventh in
Canada; and Kristin Kagerer, Auditing 2, second in Quebec, eighth in Canada.
