The Diagnostic Imaging Technology Program at Dawson College celebrated MRT (Medical Radiation Technologists) Week by having third-year students promote the profession on Nov. 7 in the Lower Atrium.
“The students invested significant time in creating posters and PowerPoint presentations with audio-visual elements related to emerging technologies, as well as trivia games like fun facts and Jeopardy, while engaging the Dawson community to participate and raise awareness about the profession,” reported Heidi Gumbley, Co-Program Coordinator/ Chair of Dawson’s Diagnostic Imaging Technology Department.
“The students need to meet competencies that promote the profession and healthcare system, while also educating fellow students, peers, patients, and the public about their field,” she said.
“The greatest impact observed was the enthusiasm and passion exhibited by the students for their profession. They effectively communicated to the public that Medical Imaging is an integral part of the medical field. The Diagnostic Imaging department is proud of its future graduates.”
A total of 21 students led the activity and hundreds of fellow students and Dawson staff participated.
During this College Professionals Week, November 18-22, we thank all professionals who contribute so much to the mission of Dawson College.
The theme this year is “50 years of history: together towards the future”.
The work, skills, commitment and passion of professionals have helped build the CEGEP network and student services. Thank you!

On Oct. 30, the petition of the Dawson Student Union (DSU) asking the Quebec government to exempt Indigenous students from the harmful effects of Law 14 was officially deposited in the National Assembly.
“It was important for the DSU to stand up for our fellow students and the rights of Indigenous peoples,” said Leilah Doyle, Vice-President External Affairs. “This campaign has concluded but we will continue to advocate for Indigenous students.”
Doyle is sad that the government seems closed to really listening to the students and doing the right thing for Indigenous students.
Indigenous students in Quebec are already struggling to pursue further studies at CEGEP, and Law 14, as it is being implemented now, means some Indigenous students will not be able to graduate.
Before it closed on Oct. 25, the petition garnered 2,794 signatures from Quebecers. It was sponsored by Jennifer Maccarone, Member of the National Assembly for Westmount─St-Louis.

How would you describe your teaching philosophy? I am most interested in the cultural and emotional environment design of a classroom, holding space for the diverse ways of existing in the world, and cultivating a sense of belonging for all. I believe that every student has a rich body of knowledge from their own lived…
