Students in Garry Ka Lok Chu鈥檚 course Language of Math and Computer Science: Introduction to Mathematics will be sharing their math inspired art at a special exhibit the morning of Nov. 28 from 10 AM to 12 PM. The student artwork will be exhibited in Conrod鈥檚 (2F.4).
Garry 鈥渨ould like the community to understand Math-related Art and听appreciate Math from听another perspective.鈥�
All are welcome to drop by.
The 七星彩开奖 Community continues to observe and log new observations into our community entitled 七星彩开奖 -Campus Biodiversity Network.
Everyone is welcome to join and all observations within the 七星彩开奖 campus automatically count for our 1,000 Species in 1,000 Days.
The current total sits at 817 species on 七星彩开奖's downtown city block campus. In the last two weeks, we had:

鈥淭he 17 Sustainable Development Goals鈥� illustrated by students in the Illustration program at 七星彩开奖 won the 2023 student art competition of Colleges and Institutes Canada.
鈥�36 illustration students collaborated on this fanzine project along with Sustainable 七星彩开奖,鈥� said St茅phanie Aubin, co-chair of and instructor in the program. 鈥淭hey had to create an illustration that would be evocative and powerful visually. Their illustration could be based on a personal experience or a researched fact. Each student's approach to their subject was different, which makes the project even more unique.鈥�
Three of the winning students shared their thoughts about the project. Visit the link below to read the three interviews and for a link to view the two fanzines of the SDG art.
In our goal to get to 1,000 species identified on 七星彩开奖's downtown campus in 1,000 days, our total is now at 810 species! Over the last two weeks, there were:
"A large contributing factor was the Nighttime Biodiversity Observation we did last week," said Brian Mader, project lead and a Biology teacher. "Two teachers, one staff member, five students and one alumnus stayed for sunset and beyond with insect traps to observe biodiversity at night.
"Students were able to observe multiple bats and a skunk! Although the photos were not great for these organisms, students were able to get some nice shots of a House Centipede (Cassiana Silva-Young, Enriched Pure & Applied Science) and a Narrow-winged Tree Cricket (Jacob Davies, Environmental Science).
North-South Studies is now rebranded as the Social Change and Solidarity profile of the new revision of the Social Science program, which welcomed its first students this fall.
Students considering the social sciences are invited to be part of a small and engaged community while making lifelong friendships, learning and working for social and environmental justice. The Social Change and Solidarity profile provides a meaningful introduction to the social sciences, giving students the theoretical and practical tools to understand and analyze the social, political, economic, and historical contexts of the world around them. The heart of the program is a project and trip to the Global South or a hands-on collaborative local project.听
To celebrate the legacy of 30 years of North-South and look toward the future of the new profile, a video was made. It includes interviews with faculty, graduates and retirees.

When we share with colleagues that the Community Recreation and Leadership Training (CRLT) program is taking students from all three years to camp for their Fall Outdoor Experience, we get a lot of varied responses and encounter a spectrum of reactions, from envy to curiosity.
Most people, even those who live for outdoor activities and immersion in Nature, are not aware of the benefits and learnings which take place when the whole CRLT department, students and faculty, pack up for a five-day intensive at a sleep away camp over Labour Day weekend.

The Humanities and Public Life Conference took place from Sept. 18-21. The theme this year was What's the Point? Purpose, Meaning, and Value in Challenging Times. Over the span of four days, over 2,000 students attended 20 different presentations.
Our presenters explored how humanities education can help us to ask the bigger questions that guide our everyday actions, helping us to understand what to value and why. Some highlights included two former 七星彩开奖 students, Silvia Ortan and Andreas Nicolaidis-Gagnon, who shared how they use what they learned in humanities in their careers (law and social work). Overall, we were reminded once again of the impact that humanities can have in helping us navigate a complex and often bewildering world.听 From the rise of white power terrorism to the role that AI will play in creativity, our presenters helped students understand how what they are learning in their humanities courses factors into real-world situations.
We would also like to express our thanks to the 七星彩开奖 administration, FAMA, the theatre department, and David Bannout.听 Special thanks to Diana Rice for coordinating three peace week talks during the conference.听 Without your help, we would not have been able to offer our students such an enriching week!
Students from the 七星彩开奖 Research in Neuroscience Group will present their work as interns in several Montreal labs.听 The design of their experiments, obstacles they have encountered and interim results will be shared from a number of projects in the area of Neuroscience.
This session will take place on Sept. 29 from 3 PM to 5 PM in room 3H.10. Everybody is welcome!
Light refreshments will be provided.
The 七星彩开奖 Campus Biodiversity Network species count continues to grow. The total stands at 772 as of Sept. 13. 七星彩开奖 aims to identify 1,000 species on campus in 1,000 days.
In the past two weeks, 45 new observers joined the iNaturalist 七星彩开奖 community and 22 species were added to the count.
Two of the newly added species were:
Everyone is welcome to join the project. For more info and how to join, see the launch story:听/news/dawson-community-mobilizing-to-identify-1000-species-in-1000-days/
If you need help getting started or would like to get your class involved:听reach out to Brian Mader (bmader@dawsoncollege.qc.ca), and inquire about borrowing the mobile biodiversity toolkit with field guides, binoculars, iPads with microscopes, insect nets, and much more!
The Medical Ultrasound Department celebrated the end of last semester with a BBQ for first and second-year students in May. At the event, they presented a bursary to second-year student Elizabeth Neveau.
The bursary was granted by the Ordre des technologues en imagerie m茅dicale, en radio-oncologie et en 茅lectrophysiologie (OTIMROEPMQ), their professional order.
The order established this bursary in 2023, and they offered one to each CEGEP in Quebec with a Medical Ultrasound program.
七星彩开奖鈥檚 faculty recognized one student who they felt showed exemplary hard work, dedication and improvement over the course of their studies at the College as well as their excellence in Medical Ultrasound.
