Get your new branded Dawson email signature
March 23rd, 2022
Dawson College has invested in a new refreshed brand for the College. The full impact of a brand is achieved through consistent and appropriate usage in line with the Brand Guidelines.
One of the ways we can all participate in the implementation of Dawson’s new brand is by adopting the new official Dawson College email signature.
Much thought has been put into its design and functionality. It was delivered to Dawson by the marketing company that did the branding project and was thoroughly tested by our in-house IT Solutions Team.
The official email signature is meant to be used as is. We ask that you do not re-arrange the elements, change the font or create your own version of the Dawson College email signature.
To make the change to your signature, go to the My Dawson Portal (Omnivox) and find the the Branded Email Signature item under Non-Academic Services. There you will instructions and templates related to the way you access Outlook.
If you experience any issues, please contact Dawson's Help Desk at helpdesk@dawsoncollege.qc.ca

Five more days to show support for Dawson students
March 9th, 2022
The impact of the cancellation of Dawson’s pavilion project does not only affect Dawson students, but the whole Montreal community and all English-language institutions in Quebec. We need your help to gather as much support for Dawson as possible in the next five days!
Please share this message with your friends, family and network of contacts.
The Dawson community has rallied around Dawson following Premier François Legault's decision to cancel the pavilion project, take away space from our students and future students and shelve a downtown community clinic.
It is thanks to you that our petition is #1 on the National Assembly petition platform. In one week, an impressive 10,000 signatures of support for Dawson were collected. However, we need your help to get as many Quebecers as possible to sign before our MNA Jennifer Maccarone presents the petition with the Dawson Student Union to the National Assembly on March 17.
The deadline to sign the petition is March 15. Here's how you can help:
- Ask your friends, family, neighbours and contacts to sign it. Explain that they need to fill out the form and then confirm their signature by clicking a link in their email. A direct request one-on-one is probably more effective than sharing on social media.
- Send a request by email with the petition link to your friends and ask them to sign it.
- Ask your colleagues and neighbours if they have signed it yet.
- Write to your Member of the National Assembly, template letters and resources are here: https://www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca/support-dawson/
- If you are a teacher, take two minutes of class time to explain the situation and invite your students to take a moment to sign it. It is for their future!

Metropolis bleu / Blue Metropolis just released a series of original audio stories for kids, in English and French, that they commissioned around the theme of ecology, the environment and sustainability. Andrew Katz (Faculty, English) is the author of one of the stories. “It was a great pleasure to have gotten the chance to write and record one of them, alongside two terrific creators for young people, Mireille Messier and Sylvain Rivard. Special thanks as well to Holly Gauthier-Frankel for her invaluable voice coaching,” Andrew wrote.
You can give "Jackie's Window" and the other two stories a listen here.
