New School community from today and yesterday celebrated 50th anniversary
May 9th, 2024
About 150 current and former students, facilitators, faculty and friends of New School attended a 50th anniversary celebration at Dawson on April 13. For many, New School was a defining moment in their lives.
It was 鈥渞eally great to see so many people from such a span of years come out with fond memories of New School,鈥� said Andrew Katz, an English teacher who has been teaching in the New School for the last six years.
Andrew, who served as MC, asked the guests what had brought them back to New School. Various guests in the audience offered answers: 鈥渃ommunity, acceptance, sharing, memories, inspiration, love, safe places, challenges, accountability, growth, laughter, humour, Greta,聽identity, empowerment, party, making a difference, humanism, activism, care.鈥�

Join the AR Cit茅 augmented reality tour May 16
May 9th, 2024
Over the past three years, Dawson students, faculty and local media professionals have been working together to create an augmented reality app, which is now available in the app stores.
Using image recognition and geo-location services, the app brings to life historical depictions, critical observations and artistic interpretations about our campus and the surrounding neighbourhood.
Students not only built the app, but they鈥檝e also created dozens of multimedia vignettes, which teach us about the hidden stories that are all around us.
Join us on Thursday, May 16 at 3 PM in Oliver's (2C.17) where we鈥檒l show off the app and then take a little tour of several locations on and around campus.
