Last week, Dawson’s web traffic increased by about 10,000 unique visitors compared to the same period last year. The visitors were stopping by for Virtual Information Evening, which was held Feb. 3.
It is the last student recruitment event before the March 1 application deadline and a great opportunity for potential students to ask questions. In previous years, when the event was in person, it would typically draw about 800 prospective students.
The event featured web content, new social media videos for spotlight programs and chats with teachers, students, advisors and employees.
Some interesting numbers and facts from Virtual Information Evening:
- 9,192 unique page views of the microsite since launch
- 943 chat sessions
- 13,000 video views by 4,500 unique viewers since launch
- 3 most popular chats:
- Admissions/Advising
- Science Program
- Medical Ultrasound Technology Program
- Prospective students also participated from other countries: Albania, Guadalupe, Columbia, U.S., U.K., France, Haiti, Philippines.
Participant feedback:
“I've assisted to two other chats from different subjects before you, and honestly y'all made my day. It just gives the proof that Dawson is the perfect school for me. Thank you so much! I really hope that I'll meet you next year in person.”

Statement from Dawson College
February 9th, 2021
The new pavilion project of Dawson College is not an expansion of the downtown Montreal CEGEP. We reject the use of the word expansion, which is inflammatory in this context. Almost seven years ago, in the spring of 2014, Quebec’s Ministry of Education recognized that Dawson College has a significant space deficit.
