About CUPA
We are an Association of Concordia University staff and faculty pensioners.
Mandate
The goal of the Association continues to be the effective representation of Concordia pensioners on matters of importance to the well-being of our community while providing an active, ongoing, and supportive link amongst members and to the University.
Our primary role is to contribute to the oversight of the University’s Pension Plan and Benefits Plan. We actively contribute to Concordia’s scholarship and bursary program as well as other student awards funds. We also look for ways to foster continuing relationships among our members, many of whom have known one another for decades.
See the Constitution and Bylaws (2002)
Relationship with Concordia
While not a formal part of the University, CUPA has been supported by many of Concordia’s administrative departments and often consulted by university leadership on matters related to Pensions and Benefits.
