November 3rd, 2021
Certificates offer students from all programs the opportunities to interact in a learning community of fellow students and teachers who share a passion for thinking about and finding solutions to a specific contemporary issue. Students currently can take along with their DEC a certificate in Women/Gender Studies, Hellenic Studies, Peace Studies, Decolonization and Indigenization, and as of this year, SPACE: Arts and Sciences and Environment and Sustainability.
Interested in learning more about any of these certificates? Wondering about how to get more involved or the possibilities for co-teaching a certificate course with a colleague? If so, we invite you drop by the Lower and Upper Atriums on Wednesday, Nov. 10 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
For more information, please contact LC Certificate Lead Pat Romano at promano@dawsoncollege.qc.ca.
