Concordia President Claude Lajeunesse will join hundreds of staff, faculty, students, alumni and friends in the 6.5 km walkathon from the University’s downtown Sir George Williams Campus to its Loyola Campus to raise funds for scholarships and bursaries. Since its inception, the Concordia Shuffle has raised close to $700,000 and some 300 students have benefited from these funds. This year the event will kick-off at 1 p.m. in the new Engineering, Computer Science and Visual Arts Integrated Complex at the corner of Guy and St. Catherine Sts. (1515 St. Catherine St. West) Not only do students benefit from the Shuffle, but participants do too. Besides getting a healthy workout, participants are eligible to win more than 75 amazing prizes, including trips for two to Calgary, Paris and New York, as well as hotel stays, digital cameras, movie premiere tickets, car rentals, iPod nanos, restaurant gift certificates, and much, much more.
