New Concordia president does CBC radio interview

Concordia's new president Dr. Alan Shepard made an appearance on CBC radio's Daybreak morning show on Friday.

Dr. Shepard just recently began his presidential mandate on August 1st.

Prior to coming to Montreal, he served as provost and vice-president at Ryerson University in Toronto.

Shepard's introduction to the Concordia community hasn't been smooth.

In April, a small group of student protesters interrupted Shepard's first public speaking event at Concordia. The meeting was cancelled after protesters refused to stop making noise.

Concordia's fall semester begins on September 5th, the day after provincial elections.
