Caspian-Iranian students association of the University of Montreal, HEC, and Polytechnique Montréal

Caspian is the Iranian students association of the University of Montréal, HEC, and Polytechnique Montréal. The formation of the Caspian Association was proposed unofficially in 2005 among the Iranian students of the Polytechnique University, and it started its activities by performing a number of events. However, the activities underwent a more serious form in 2013 by writing the articles of association. It can be said that the objective of the Caspian Association is in any field that is initially needed by the student community and then being useful for the Iranian community, such as educational, professional, cultural, and artistic programs. (Commercial, political and religious programs are not part of the association's activities). The initial idea to form such an association was definitely to create a home for the community of Iranian students in a way that they could know each other better, exchange their experiences, and become more familiar with the university and the host community. Certainly, introducing the name of Iran and its rich culture to the host community has also been part of the motivation for launching the Caspian Association. ---------------------------- Executive members of the current board: Mohammadreza Talebloo (PhD, Polytechnique) - Current President Mersede Mokri (PhD, University of Montréal) - Current Treasurer Reza Mofidi (PhD, Polytechnique) - Executive Director Shamim Vaziri (MSc, Polytechnique) - Administrative Secretary Davoud Amirimehr (PhD, University of Montréal)- Public Relations Yeganeh Golnari (MSc, University of Montréal) - External Affairs Udem Rouzbeh Ghasemi (MSc, HEC) - External Affairs HEC Hamidreza Farimanirad (PhD, Polytechnique) - External Affairs Polytechnique ------------------------------------------------------------- Former presidents from the latest: Mohammad Khajouei Zahra Zare Masoud Mehrabian Mohammad Ghaedsharaf Sepideh Kamalzare Amir Afshani Navid Elahipanah
