“Keep the University in Concordia” – A Call to Action From the FSDSA
The following is a message from the Film Studies Doctoral Student Association concerning Concordia University’s recent rebranding: “Recently it came to our attention that Concordia University had decided to drop the word “University” from its logo and the website’s main banner head.

Martin Lefebvre Presents “A New Look at Christian Metz: Semiology and Aesthetics” & Tess McCler
Before beginning his presentation this morning, Concordia’s Martin Lefebvre drolly thanked all in attendance for making it to the 9 AM panel on the 22nd day of SCMS.
