Implementation of Dawson鈥檚 Strategic Plan to begin in Winter 2024
May 31st, 2023
The College has decided to delay the launch and implementation of its five-year Strategic Plan slightly in order to ensure the extensive consultation process thus far is properly considered.聽 The College plans to submit the Strategic Plan to the Board of Governors in Fall 2023 and begin implementation in Winter 2024.
鈥淭he consultation process on the Strategic Plan has been more extensive than ever before and we sincerely appreciate the feedback we鈥檝e received from the community. We want to make sure the document reflects the richness of this feedback, so it is taking a little more time than originally expected,鈥� said Leanne Bennett, Academic Dean.
In addition, the necessity to implement Bill 96-related measures on curriculum and admissions has kept many employees of the College quite busy, causing some delay in progress.
If you鈥檇 like an update on the activities and progress of the Strategic Plan Design and Writing Committee,聽聽to view posts on the timeline for development of the plan and on some of the draft components developed so far. Feedback is welcome in the form of public comments on the posts.
The Strategic Plan Design and Writing Committee includes Sameer Bhatnagar, Quality Assurance and Planning; Cathy Giulietti, Executive Assistant, Academic Dean; Dianne Hawryluck, Academic Advising; Ian MacKenzie, Faculty; and Alan Stewart, Assistant to the Academic Dean.

Ministry financing for additional space to Forum confirmed
May 31st, 2023
The Ministry of Higher Education has confirmed funding for Dawson to rent additional space at the Montreal Forum for the next 5 years.
With this additional space, the Nursing Program will have quadruple the space for simulation, which can also be used by other programs, and an additional 90 square metres for their labs.
Plans are being developed to renovate the former Future Shop space on the second floor. It will accommodate the Nursing Program as well as one low tech active learning classroom and eight general use classrooms. There will also be a new student space where students can relax and study between classes.聽 The preliminary layout of the renovation has been provided by Facilities Management and can be viewed here.
This is a temporary response to Dawson鈥檚 space deficit of more than 11,200 square metres confirmed by the Ministry of Higher Education in December 2021. The College continues to work on a longer-term solution to the space deficit after plans for the construction of a new medical studies pavilion were officially cancelled by the Quebec government in late March 2022.
