Para-Academic Groups
In addition to supporting faculty and students with class activities and events, we also work with students as liaisons for para-academic groups. Para-academic groups are not attached to any specific program and are open to all students. Below is a list of active groups that students may join.  If you would like to start a new para-academic group, please contact us at campuslife@dawsoncollege.qc.ca.

Model United Nation
- The ÆßÐDzʿª½± Model United Nations (DCMUN) is a dynamic para-academic activity in which students develop skills in diplomacy, research, leadership, and communication.
DCMUN is an inclusive organization, and since 2010 we have welcomed students from across ÆßÐDzʿª½± to join us and train as delegates in simulations of the United Nations during which they debate and problem-solve across a challenging slate of current world events.
We offer students the opportunity to attend conferences locally, nationally, and internationally (while following public health directives). Our delegations have impressed conferences with their preparation, professionalism, and performance.
The strong sense of community and camaraderie, as well as a robust training programme, have allowed students to develop lasting friendships, connections, and skills that benefit them throughout their lives.
Robotics
-
The Canadian Robotics Competition (CRC) is an annual event open to high schools and CEGEPS across Canada but particularly in the greater Montreal region. It is a multi-disciplinary event with the objective of building a robot, a themed kiosk, website, and short video.
A growing number of students from various disciplines are attracted to it each year. Many have had prior exposure to the CRC from high school.
Students from various disciplines including Civil tech, Pure, and Applied, Computer Science, and Mech Tech participate.
A truly collaborative enriching competition.
