Perseverance and a desire to serve her community have distinguished Francesca Robinson (Dawson Class of 2020, Nursing). After dropping out at age 16, Francesca completed high school and had her first child during the same year. She went on to study Nursing at Dawson and graduated early with the rest of her Class of 2020 cohort so they could help care for Quebecers during the pandemic. Last month, Francesca was named one of the first two recipients of the bourse d'茅tudes No毛llette-Drouin of the Fondation de l'Ordre des infirmi猫res et infirmiers du Qu茅bec (OIIQ).

With the arrival of the first snowflakes this week, it seemed like a good time to let you know how we will communicate with employees, students and the public if there is a severe weather forecast or a decision is taken to cancel classes and close the campus.
All Dawson employees would be informed by an email to their Dawson email account from the Communications Office to All Dawson. If the campus is closed for a day, most employees would not be expected to work from home. If the situation is prolonged, the College would provide further instructions.
