Concordia offers more than 30 healthcare-related majors, which adds up to thousands upon thousands of alumni who serve in caregiving roles throughout the world.
Many of our graduates continue to serve selflessly in the midst of COVID-19, and we’re incredibly proud to see our alumni living out the CUW mission on the front lines of this pandemic.
We’re showing our appreciation for our alumni through a new series called “Falcons on the Front Line.” We want you to nominate worthy Falcons for this series! If you would like to recognize a first responder who is an alumna or alumnus of CUW, please take a moment to fill out this form. We’ll honor a Falcon on the Front Line each week on CUW’s social media channels.
