The health situation has led to a change in plans for Winter Open House. It will now take place exclusively online on Wednesday, Feb. 9.
There will be webinars about How to Apply and the Science Program as well as live chats with teachers from programs and profiles.

Wishing all our Dawson colleagues best wishes for the end of the semester, very Happy Holidays and a healthy and happy 2022! Meilleurs voeux ! We had hoped to give all employees a little surprise featuring our new Dawson brand but our delivery was delayed. The gift will be distributed when we return to campus in the New Year.
With the holiday season upon us, Dawson has embarked on a new activity in partnership with Alexis-Nihon that requires volunteers for short shifts. We’ve all seen the gift-wrapping service that pops up in the shopping centre during the month of December. This year, Alexis-Nihon offered the spot to Dawson as the sole beneficiary of all…
We are proud to celebrate our Fall 2021 Awards cohort of 35 exceptional Dawson College students. Their involvement in student life, commitment to community service and determination to succeed at CEGEP enrich the Dawson community and make us hopeful about the future. Congratulations to our students! Thank you to all the donors, teachers and employees who make the awards possible.

In lieu of an Awards Ceremony, all recipients were invited in late November to have professional photos taken with the Academic Dean and pick up their awards and a small gift.

Dawson will launch a refreshed and youthful brand in the New Year.
Employees will be the first to see merchandise with the new logo. In the coming days, Director General Diane Gauvin will invite employees via an email to All Dawson to come pick up a Holiday Gift from Dawson featuring the new refreshed logo.

With the arrival of the first snowflakes this week, it seemed like a good time to let you know how we will communicate with employees, students and the public if there is a severe weather forecast or a decision is taken to cancel classes and close the campus.
All Dawson employees would be informed by an email to their Dawson email account from the Communications Office to All Dawson. If the campus is closed for a day, most employees would not be expected to work from home. If the situation is prolonged, the College would provide further instructions.

Giving Tuesday is a global movement that encourages individuals to support their favourite cause and make an impact in their community. The date of Giving Tuesday this year is Nov. 30, but the benefits of giving last all year.
“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.” (Maya Angelou)
Dawson has participated in this activity in the past with great success. This year, we are launching a program for giving that not only helps various members of our community and supports community-building projects, but one that also touches our hearts.
On Tuesday, Nov. 23, we will begin a one-week countdown to Giving Tuesday on our social media channels:
Dawson is a giving community by nature, rising above even the challenges posed by the pandemic. Our generosity knows no bounds!
Winter Open House will have some new features based on the experience of the Fall Open House last month.

For years, the Alexis-Nihon shopping centre across the street has been like a second home to the Dawson community – from dashing over (through the tunnel in bad weather) for lunch to getting groceries or doing a little shopping. Dawson will see an extension of its relationship with Alexis-Nihon this holiday season when all proceeds…
Dawson’s Open House 2021 was reimagined this year to help visitors experience the best version of the College and all it has to offer. We achieved record-breaking attendance by keeping the best elements of the first online Open House in 2020 and introducing new features and in-person tours for the first time since 2019.
Gone were the one-hour waits to have questions answered and navigating a hot, loud and crowded building. This year the maximum wait time for a question was not more than 2-3 minutes during the chat sessions for Open House on Oct. 24. Team Dawson Open House 2021 made sure the event was useful, smooth and pleasant for everyone.
Director General Diane Gauvin and Academic Dean Robert Cassidy would like to thank the more than 150 faculty members, current students and deans as well as managers, professionals and support staff from the Registrar's Office, the Communications Office, the Sustainability Office, Information Systems and Technology, Student Services, the Office of Academic Development and more.
Special thanks to Carey-Ann Pawsey, Jennifer de Vera, Lucy Segal, Ivana Bonaduce, Catherine Fusk, Marien Griffin, Dianne Hawryluck, Irene Kakoulakis, Antonina Nobile, Michele Pallett, Julie Pellegrino, Madalina Radu, Jane Valihora, Diane Wong, Carmela Gumelli, Julie Brosseau, Laura Paterson, Tommy Diamantakos, Maxwell Jones, Mylène Saucier, Dana Dragomir, Donna Varrica, Christina Parsons, Jonathan Perlman, Chris Georgieff, Pat Phutthavong, Virginia Law.
