Discover 12 projects funded by Foundation
January 25th, 2023
A dozen projects proposed by Dawson students, faculty and staff have been approved for funding through the Dawson Foundation’s new Student Academic Enrichment Fund.
A website page showcases the projects and allows others to invest in a particular project through a donate button.
The Student Academic Enrichment Fund is supported by students each semester and is meant to be a source of funds for projects that demonstrate a clear benefit for Dawson students and represent an activity that goes over and above core competencies for completion of a program. The selection committee, including representatives from the Dawson Student Union, Academics and Student Services, meets twice a year to review and approve project proposals.
The next round of project applications will open later this semester and will be announced in D News and the Omnivox student news feed.

New stock of mini desktop garbages have arrived
November 16th, 2022
If you would like one for your desk please stop by the Sustainability Office 4B.3A and pick one up. First come first served.
A friendly reminder of why we have mini desk top garbages that we bring to the sorting station ourselves:
- We hope to reduce waste and make everyone more accountable and mindful of the waste they produce and where it goes.
- By bringing your own waste to the sorting stations we hope you run into different people from the Dawson community and start a conversation and spark connections, bringing community together. It’s the new water cooler.
