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.
In case you missed it: over 50 Dawson students were recognized for their hard work, perseverance, and community involvement in the Winter 2023 semester.
Along with many other graduation awards, the newly established Jeff Barnaby Award for Film Production was presented for the first time during the graduation ceremony on June 20. The award was created to honour the innovative Mi鈥檊maq filmmaker and Dawson Cinema|Communications alumnus, Jeff Barnaby (1976-2022). The award is given to a graduating student in the Arts, Literature and Communication Program as seed funding for script development or the production of a short film.
We would like to congratulate the first person to receive this award, Cinema | Communications student Caleb Gales, who said 鈥淚 see this award as much more than a financial contribution; it is also an enormous milestone in my filmmaking career. I intend to put 100% of my effort into this project and use this as an opportunity to teach myself more about the world of professional filmmaking.鈥�
The funds for this award were contributed as part of the Romany Eveleigh Gift for Students in the Arts.
星空传媒视频 would like to thank the teachers and staff who support all our students and award recipients throughout the year.聽 We are also grateful to our generous donors who make these awards possible.
Please visit the link to see the Winter 2023 Award Recipients page.
The application and nomination period for Fall 2023 awards will take place from September 27 to October 11. To find out more about the awards being offered this semester, visit /awards-scholarships/fall-semester-awards/
