Dawson K-Pop team was front page news
November 8th, 2023
Dawson鈥檚 K-Pop dance team, IntenCITY, under Campus Life, was featured on the front page of The Montreal Gazette on Nov. 1. The dancers hosted a Random Dance Play activity where snippets of K-Pop songs are played. If you know the choreography of the dance, you jump onto the dance floor and dance in unison. The activity always brings a lot of spectators and of course, K-Pop dance fanatics.
鈥淒awson has competed in the Intercollegiate Triple Crown K-Pop Dance competition the last four years,鈥� said Michelle Lee of the Campus Life team in Student Services. 鈥淲e brought home the trophy the last two years. We compete against Vanier, Marianopolis, Champlain, John Abbott, and last year, Br茅beuf was included. Each school performs three dances. Dawson鈥檚 team, IntenCITY, is strong again this year and is working hard to hold onto the trophy at the 2024 competition.鈥�
People of all ethnic backgrounds are part of this community, not only Koreans, Michelle says.

Enjoyable return to school and work at Dawson
August 30th, 2023
New students were welcomed over two days of programming Aug. 17 and 18 and staff were welcomed back by Director General Diane Gauvin and Academic Dean Leanne Bennett at the annual Welcome Back Lunch on Aug. 18.
A total of 2,396 new students participated in Welcome Days and over 400 staff and faculty attended the Welcome Back address and lunch.
Student Services Coordinator, Caroline Blouin, reported that 鈥渟tudents were happy to be at Dawson despite the rain.鈥� They heard presentations from their sector dean, met the Dawson Student Union team and learned more about their program and the services available to them.
New students were invited to explore the College, meet our mascot Blue at the photobooth, see a magic show, and learn about opportunities to volunteer and work. They also could pick up some free popcorn, treats and merchandise.
The highlight for Trudy Ste. Croix of the Campus Life team 鈥渨as the level of student engagement from our 16 student tour guides and 30 amazing student volunteers.鈥�
Caroline鈥檚 highlight was 鈥渢he use of a software program to track attendance developed by Jonathan Perlman of Dawson鈥檚 IST team. This system cut down on wait times and kept the Lower Atrium from becoming chaotic.鈥�
鈥淲elcome Days is a team effort meaning that it can鈥檛 be successful without the participation of multiple departments, teachers, staff and student volunteers,鈥� said Caroline. 鈥淚鈥檇 like to thank everyone who helped make these two welcome days possible, whether you gave a program presentation, set up one of the many rooms used, worked at the sign-in table, promoted your service, took students from one place to another or handed out popcorn!鈥�
