Concordia University has recently made headlines with significant achievements in both research and athletics. Previously, the university was known for its diverse academic programs and athletic teams, but recent developments have brought it into the spotlight for specific accomplishments.

On March 10, 2026, Concordia researchers published a study examining the relational fractures experienced by vegans in an omnivorous society. This study identified three types of fractures: co-performance, co-learning, and marketplace. Co-performance fractures occur when vegans introduce novel elements to shared practices, such as family meals, while co-learning fractures arise within the vegan community when new vegans seek advice. Marketplace fractures highlight the scarcity of places catering to vegan dietary needs.

According to Zeynep Arsel, one of the researchers, “We wanted to look at these fractures from the vegan perspective, since most people are omnivorous and familiar with trying to accommodate others’ dietary needs.” This insight sheds light on the personal struggles many vegans face, as noted by Aya Aboelenien, who stated, “Many of the people I spoke to really wanted to discuss the personal struggles they faced, which in many instances discouraged them from maintaining a vegan lifestyle.”

In contrast to the academic achievements, Concordia’s women’s hockey team has also made a significant mark by winning the RSEQ championship. The Stingers defeated the Université de Montréal Carabins 2-1, marking their first title in five years. The championship game saw a tense 40 minutes before the first goal was scored, showcasing the competitive spirit of both teams.

Concordia’s head coach, Julie Chu, received her sixth RSEQ Coach of the Year award, further emphasizing the team’s success. Ekaterina Pelowich, a player on the team, remarked, “Obviously, we’re going to enjoy the moment, live in the present, but we’ll get back to work on Monday and continue to practice and keep doing what we’ve been doing all year.” This victory not only highlights the team’s resilience but also positions them favorably for the upcoming U Sports national championship starting on March 19.

In addition to the hockey team’s success, filmmaker Junna Chif has gained recognition for her debut feature film ‘Invisibles,’ which follows a Montreal sex worker working with clients with disabilities. The film premiered at Estonia’s Black Nights Film Festival and won Best Quebec Film at CINEMANIA Film Festival, showcasing the creative talents emerging from Concordia.

These developments at Concordia University illustrate a dynamic environment where academic research and athletic prowess intersect, contributing to a vibrant community. The university continues to foster innovation and excellence in various fields, reinforcing its reputation as a leading institution in Canada.
