Last semester, the college issued a vision for sustainability, stating it “will embrace a concern for sustainability that is rooted in the responsibility to ensure the environmental, economic, and social health of the college and of our global community.” This year, students have petitioned to go disposable water bottle free and SGA campaigns have laid…
Anne Nash had an idea. What if music students from Concordia could perform for area residents at the Eventide senior living community in a low-stress environment? Even better, what if students could perform for Eventide residents while learning management skills as well?

Seven Habitat for Humanity trips including 127 students and seven faculty members left their natural habitat at Concordia and traveled across the nation to construct homes for communities in need.
