Record number of new students attended Welcome Days
August 29th, 2024
Welcome Days occurred on August 19 and 20, 2024 with a record attendance of 2,675 students! This is an increase of 279 students over last year.
Excited students attended presentations, explored the college, and learned about opportunities to get involved in Campus Life. They also took pictures with Blue, our celebrity volunteer, who was hard at work (see here)!
One of the highlights of this year was handing out agendas to the students. This project stemmed from a months-long collaboration between Student Services and the Dawson Student Union to offer this in-demand item.
Welcome Days is a team effort meaning that it can’t be successful without the participation of multiple departments, teachers, staff and student volunteers. I’d like to thank everyone that helped make these two days possible, whether you gave a program presentation, set up one of the rooms, worked at the sign-in table, promoted your service, took students from one place to another or handed out popcorn!

Humanities teacher Timothy Slonosky’s new book
May 23rd, 2024
Civic Reformation and Religious Change in Sixteenth-Century Scottish Towns is the name of Timothy Slonosky’s new book.
The book demonstrates the crucial role of Scotland’s townspeople in the dramatic Protestant Reformation of 1560. It shows that Scottish Protestants were much more successful than their counterparts in France and the Netherlands at introducing religious change because they had the acquiescence of urban populations.
Timothy has been teaching in the Humanities department at Dawson since 2006. He graduated from Dawson’s Liberal Arts program in 1999 and went on to study history at McGill and Simon Fraser Universities. He did his PhD in Reformation history at the University of Pennsylvania.
“I started work on Civic Reformations in 2006. I was drawn to Reformation history, and religious history in general, because I’m curious about the role of religious motivations in people’s political and life choices, a topic I explore in my Humanities Worldviews class Visions, Rebellions and Elections.
