Exceptionally this year, Dawson graduation ceremonies will be held after Saint Jean on Tuesday, June 25. The later date is because the grade deadline is exceptionally later this semester. Time is required to confirm students have in fact graduated.
The good news is that Dawson has secured the 2,996-seat Salle Wilfred Pelletier at Place des Arts so there will be enough space to host two ceremonies instead of three.

Don’t miss Leopoldstadt: on now through Feb. 17
February 7th, 2024
Sir Tom Stoppard’s play Leopoldstadt had its Canadian premiere at the Dawson College Theatre on Feb. 7. Directed by Matt Holland, the play features the 2024 graduating class of Dawson’s Professional Theatre program. Shows are happening on Feb. 8-9-10 and Feb. 15-16-17.
Here’s what one student acting in the play said about it: "I think audiences can look forward to being thrown off. It's funny, it's sad, it's a family story. Families have history: they have fights, they have losses, they have good moments, and each member just wants to be a part of it." - Frida Flores
For more about the play, read the Jan. 25 story.
