2020 Nursing grad Francesca Robinson wins major bursary from OIIQ
January 19th, 2022
Perseverance and a desire to serve her community have distinguished Francesca Robinson (Dawson Class of 2020, Nursing). After dropping out at age 16, Francesca completed high school and had her first child during the same year. She went on to study Nursing at Dawson and graduated early with the rest of her Class of 2020 cohort so they could help care for Quebecers during the pandemic. Last month, Francesca was named one of the first two recipients of the bourse d'études Noëllette-Drouin of the Fondation de l'Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec (OIIQ).

Snow, freezing rain and other inclement weather plans at Dawson
November 17th, 2021
With the arrival of the first snowflakes this week, it seemed like a good time to let you know how we will communicate with employees, students and the public if there is a severe weather forecast or a decision is taken to cancel classes and close the campus.
All Dawson employees would be informed by an email to their Dawson email account from the Communications Office to All Dawson. If the campus is closed for a day, most employees would not be expected to work from home. If the situation is prolonged, the College would provide further instructions.

Giving Tuesday is Nov. 30
November 17th, 2021
Giving Tuesday is a global movement that encourages individuals to support their favourite cause and make an impact in their community. The date of Giving Tuesday this year is Nov. 30, but the benefits of giving last all year.
“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.” (Maya Angelou)
Dawson has participated in this activity in the past with great success. This year, we are launching a program for giving that not only helps various members of our community and supports community-building projects, but one that also touches our hearts.
On Tuesday, Nov. 23, we will begin a one-week countdown to Giving Tuesday on our social media channels:
Dawson is a giving community by nature, rising above even the challenges posed by the pandemic. Our generosity knows no bounds!
