Start a Society

Do you want to create a new club?

Student associations aim to enrich student life on campus, and cultural associations promote diversity within our community. IEAC offers resources and opportunities for sub-associations to build social ties and encourage cultural diversity. If you can't find a club that represents your community, here's how to start a new one!

Initial Verification

Many cultural and non-cultural clubs exist at Concordia. Make sure your idea is unique by consulting the Concordia student group list . IEAC will not approve clubs with overlapping mandates. For queries, contact ieac.concordia@gmail.com.
