Meet the Concordia Alumni Association Executive
Tseide Krekelberg, President
Hi Everyone, my name is Tseide Krekelberg and I am the President of the Concordia Alumni Association. I recently graduated with a Master of Information Systems Security Management (MISSM) degree at Concordia University of Edmonton. I am originally from the Netherlands; my journey at CUE began with a dual degree in Drama and English during my undergraduate years, where I discovered a passion for organizing and community building. Serving as Vice President of Student Life for the Concordia Student Association (CSA) during my undergraduate years, I orchestrated numerous campus events, refining my leadership and interpersonal skills. Intrigued by the intersection of IT and management, I transitioned to the MISSM program, driven by a desire to excel in cybersecurity. Despite an unconventional undergraduate background, I was determined to leave a lasting impact in the cybersecurity realm and academia. As an advocate for lifelong learning and community engagement, I am committed to fostering connections and making a positive difference. Now, as President of the Concordia Alumni Association, I aim to create more relationships and resources for graduate students, facilitating their continued involvement with Concordia. Drawing on my past experiences with the Concordia Students’ Association, I look forward to collaborating with former CUE students to enhance the environment for current students and encourage ongoing engagement post-graduation. If you have any questions or ideas, feel free to reach out to me at president@cuealumni.ca. I am excited to hear from you and work together towards a brighter future for Concordia’s alumni community.
Christian Potolicki, Vice President
Hi, my name is Christian Potolicki, and I am the Vice President of the Concordia Alumni Association.
During my time as a student, I had the privilege of serving in multiple roles on campus. These positions included CSA Faculty of Management Representative, CMU President, and Team Lead of the CUE Peer Support Program.
Since graduating from the Dual Degrees Program – Bachelor of Management & Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, I have earned my Professional Chemist (P.Chem) designation, and currently work as a senior lab analyst at an industrial hygiene and indoor air quality service lab in Edmonton called Eurofins Enviro-Works.
In my free time you can often find me doing something sports-related, whether it’s watching hockey, baseball, or basketball, or playing ball hockey.
I look forward to doing my part to help CUE and its vast network of proud alumni stay connected for years to come.
