Concordia Philosophy Student Weekly Tabloid Vol. 40
The end of the term, and final week, is upon us–only two more days of classes! April 17th is the final regular day of classes, and the 18th is a make up day for Friday, April 7th.
If you need academic help during for finals, the Student Success Center can help you plan your finals season, with either planning out a final research essay or a study schedule for an exam. Check out “time management,” “writing,” or “exams;” or look at their workshop “How to prepare for and take exams.” Don’t forget about Concordia’s Writing Help at the library!
If you’re feeling stressed there are, free professional massages, mindful meditation sessions, you can join a mindful end to the term, visit some therapy dogs on campus, or take the evening to listen to a concert! Don’t deny yourself some wellness and personal time. A good life requires caring for body, mind, and spirit.
Get those term papers started!

SoPhiA Book Library: Book Recommendation
Current highlighted book:
L’existentialisme est un Humanisme by Jean-Paul Sartre
This is a classic eclectic paperback of Sartre’s essay. If you read French, we definitely encourage you to pick this one up! This is the original language JP Sartre wrote in.
“The unstated objective of his lecture (“Existentialism Is a Humanism”) was to expound his philosophy as a form of “existentialism,” a term much bandied about at the time. Sartre asserted that existentialism was essentially a doctrine for philosophers, though, ironically, he was about to make it accessible to a general audience. The published text of his lecture quickly became one of the bibles of existentialism and made Sartre an international celebrity.”
If you didn’t know, SoPhiA has a library of over 650 books! We have books from different domains of philosophy and some outside philosophy (psychology, business, political science, and even novels). We even have textbooks for some of your courses! (e.g., PHIL-210, 235, 260, 266, and more)
You can borrow a book for an hour, or even the whole semester. Just drop by our office or send us an email.
You can see our complete library of books online on our Librarika virtual library.
What: Books!
Where: The SoPhiA library (in our office space)
