Anahita Norouzi: Other Landscapes opens Oct. 14
October 13th, 2021
Other Landscapes is a new exhibit at the Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery of Dawson (just off the Upper Atrium cafeteria on the 2nd floor). Open from Oct. 14- Nov. 25, it presents several multimedia works from Montreal-based Iranian artist Anahita Norouzi. It stems from her long-term research interest in the cross sections of botany and colonial politics, experiences of immigration and displacement, as well as issues of identity and memory.
Taking the form of a multimedia installation, the project results from a collaboration between the artist and eight refugees from the Middle East and Africa.

Students discover Sustainable Happiness on Living Campus tour
September 15th, 2021
Students in Melanie Doyle's Peace and Sustainable Happiness Advanced Studies in Psychology class were the first people to take a Living Campus Tour with a Sustainable Happiness theme on Sept. 13.
Led by Jennifer De Vera of the Sustainability Office and Azra Khan of Human Resources, both trained Sustainable Happiness facilitators, the tour began at the vegetable garden near the Upper Atrium, known as the Theatre Garden. It was offered as part of Dawson's Peace Week 2021 Program.
The students were taken on an outdoor tour that included about 10 stops, including the Peace Garden, the White Pine tree and the rooftop gardens.
In this photo, students Cassandra (left) and Thitrinh participate in an activity on the steps just outside the Upper Atrium. Jennifer and Azra distributed colourful chalks and invited the students to write a few words that make them happy on the steps. At the end of the exercise, the steps were full of colourful happy words. Cassandra's and Thitrinh's words were: coffee, music, animals and family, books, painting.
Employees and students who would like a tour are invited to contact the Sustainability Office to register: 蝉耻蝉迟补颈苍补产颈濒颈迟测蔼诲补飞蝉辞苍肠辞濒濒别驳别.辩肠.肠补听

CRLT taking classes outside and learning from Nature
September 15th, 2021
The students are back and enjoying many elements of college life that were not possible last year. Students in the Community, Recreation and Leadership Training Program have had regular opportunities to enjoy our Living Campus and to do learning activities both on campus at Dawson and off-campus at the Centre de Plein Air Notre Dame de Fatima on 脦le-Perrot.
Faculty member Myka Taylor said that CRLT faculty 鈥渨orked hard to still provide the whole program experience to all students.鈥� Their goal was to provide a positive outdoor social experience for all years of the program.
CRLT students have been often spotted outdoors in recent weeks as the teachers make full use of the College鈥檚 natural outdoor setting. 鈥淐RLT teachers have used our urban Nature as a catalyst in promoting personal and group growth,鈥� Myka said.
