It seeks to raise awareness about courtesy, civility, respect, inclusivity and caring for colleagues. The goal is an even more inclusive and welcoming campus climate, and one that reaches out to our surrounding community. ---There is a bit of irony here given that Concordia has about the most discourteous, uncivil and disrespectful and uncaring administrative staff of almost any institution I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I'm far from the only one to have a run in with their sullen and disorganized frontline frown specialists. Concordia would do best to get its house in order before launching silly PR campaigns and wasting money on feelgood BS. This is the mission statement of the campaign:
