Concordia University of Edmonton celebrates one hundred years as a community of scholars gathering in Edmonton and growing into the world, from its Lutheran beginnings to our rich diversity today. Concordia embraces students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends from all continents and the Indigenous peoples in Canada, creating independent thinkers, ethical leaders, and citizens for the common good. We look with confidence toward the next one hundred years as we fulfill our promise of becoming Canada’s pre-eminent small university.
