Over $52,000 raised for students at Dawson Golf Classic
August 30th, 2023
Thank you to all our golfers, friends and partners, colleagues and sponsors, whose contributions have shaped the 16th edition of the Dawson Golf Classic on June 8 into a grand success!
Thanks to you, over $52,000 was raised by the Dawson Foundation event to support Dawson students. Money raised will go towards transformative para-academic activities for students and supporting the College鈥檚 development plans for our campus under our forthcoming five-year strategic plan.
As a Qu茅bec CEGEP, its operations are funded by the government through the Ministry of Education. However not all of its activities are supported financially. Para-academic initiatives often need to find alternate funding sources.
The Foundation looks for support from the community it serves to enhance resources so that no worthwhile project goes unfunded.
Enjoyable return to school and work at Dawson

New students were welcomed over two days of programming Aug. 17 and 18 and staff were welcomed back by Director General Diane Gauvin and Academic Dean Leanne Bennett at the annual Welcome Back Lunch on Aug. 18.
A total of 2,396 new students participated in Welcome Days and over 400 staff and faculty attended the Welcome Back address and lunch.
Student Services Coordinator, Caroline Blouin, reported that 鈥渟tudents were happy to be at Dawson despite the rain.鈥� They heard presentations from their sector dean, met the Dawson Student Union team and learned more about their program and the services available to them.
New students were invited to explore the College, meet our mascot Blue at the photobooth, see a magic show, and learn about opportunities to volunteer and work. They also could pick up some free popcorn, treats and merchandise.
The highlight for Trudy Ste. Croix of the Campus Life team 鈥渨as the level of student engagement from our 16 student tour guides and 30 amazing student volunteers.鈥�
Caroline鈥檚 highlight was 鈥渢he use of a software program to track attendance developed by Jonathan Perlman of Dawson鈥檚 IST team. This system cut down on wait times and kept the Lower Atrium from becoming chaotic.鈥�
鈥淲elcome Days is a team effort meaning that it can鈥檛 be successful without the participation of multiple departments, teachers, staff and student volunteers,鈥� said Caroline. 鈥淚鈥檇 like to thank everyone who helped make these two welcome days possible, whether you gave a program presentation, set up one of the many rooms used, worked at the sign-in table, promoted your service, took students from one place to another or handed out popcorn!鈥�
