On Thursday, Dec. 10, 10 Dawson students and faculty marked the International Day of Human Rights with聽Amnesty International's write-a-thon (), which aims to bring attention to 10 cases of injustice around the world.
Since 2000,聽75% of the 169 people who have been targeted for this campaign have been freed!聽聽In one hour, we were able to complete letters for approximately 5 out of the 10 cases highlighted, which will amount to over 50 letters, and will contribute to the thousands that were written from people all over the world.
If you were unable to attend, but would still like to participate, here is a link to the recording of the session:聽听.If you have completed or will complete letters, please let Daniel Goldsmith know (via MIO) how many by next Friday, Dec. 18 so he can send numbers to Amnesty to include in their count.
Even though most exams will not be in person, there is still a great need for invigilators to maintain academic integrity online. 聽More news will be forthcoming about staffing. To read the news release issued to media on Friday, click Read More.
