With a new director and a variety of new staff throughout the department, the Student Services team is excited to start the 2024-2025 academic year off on the right foot. It began with Welcome Days before the first day of class, where a record 2,675 students attended to learn more about Dawson and their respective…
Welcome Days occurred on August 19 and 20, 2024 with a record attendance of 2,675 students! This is an increase of 279 students over last year.
Excited students attended presentations, explored the college, and learned about opportunities to get involved in Campus Life. They also took pictures with Blue, our celebrity volunteer, who was hard at work (see )!
One of the highlights of this year was handing out agendas to the students. This project stemmed from a months-long collaboration between Student Services and the Dawson Student Union to offer this in-demand item.
Welcome Days is a team effort meaning that it can鈥檛 be successful without the participation of multiple departments, teachers, staff and student volunteers. I鈥檇 like to thank everyone that helped make these two days possible, whether you gave a program presentation, set up one of the rooms, worked at the sign-in table, promoted your service, took students from one place to another or handed out popcorn!
