This is our story<\/h2>\n

While Concordia\u2019s\u00a0next-generation thinking<\/a>\u00a0allows it to constantly look forward, its roots are firmly planted in two distinctive institutions of higher education, both with illustrious histories.\u00a0The university was officially founded on August 24, 1974, following the merger of Loyola College and Sir George Williams University.<\/span><\/p>\n

Concordia adopted its name from Montreal\u2019s motto,\u00a0Concordia salus<\/i>, which means \u201cwell-being through harmony.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Founding institutions<\/h2>\n

The university\u2019s core values, including a commitment to contributing to improving individuals and society, stem from those long prized by Loyola and Sir George Williams.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Loyola College<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Loyola College grew out of the English-language program of Coll\u00e8ge Sainte-Marie, a Jesuit college founded in 1848. Loyola College became a separate institution in 1896. Loyola was first located in downtown Montreal before it relocated to land it acquired in 1900 in the city\u2019s west end. The college moved into the three original buildings on the current Loyola Campus in 1916.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
