MyDawson Communities

Communities are groups of people with similar activities or interests ; they can have their membership set such as all students, students in a program, etc., be open for members to join such as the Athletics community, or even be private. Depending on the community, its members can receive announcements (news), access documents, pictures, bookmarks, calendar of events, and participate in forum discussions.

Examples of communities are Athletics and Students.
