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

- 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.”
