Don’t miss Leopoldstadt: on now through Feb. 17

February 7th, 2024

Sir Tom Stoppard’s play Leopoldstadt had its Canadian premiere at the ÆßÐDzʿª½± Theatre on Feb. 7. Directed by Matt Holland, the play features the 2024 graduating class of ÆßÐDzʿª½±â€™s Professional Theatre program. Shows are happening on Feb. 8-9-10 and Feb. 15-16-17.

Here’s what one student acting in the play said about it: "I think audiences can look forward to being thrown off. It's funny, it's sad, it's a family story. Families have history: they have fights, they have losses, they have good moments, and each member just wants to be a part of it." - Frida Flores

For more about the play, read the Jan. 25 story.

DCMUN update

February 7th, 2024

A delegation of 49 students in ÆßÐDzʿª½± Model United Nations (DCMUN) participated in the ÆßÐDzʿª½± delegation to the McGill Model United Nations conference (McMUN) Jan 25- 28. McMUN is one of the premier Model UN conferences in North America, attracting nearly 2,000 student delegates from universities and colleges across North America and from around the world.

MagalieÌýMcKay, DCMUN Head Delegate at the McMUN conference described her experience:

“I was in absolute awe with the McMUN conference. In addition to working with talented, well-spoken, and driven delegates from around the world, it was an occasion for me to improve my public speaking and to think outside the box, to imagine innovative ideas to solve, or at least alleviate, world issues. McMUN was also an opportunity to create strong bonds with delegates from all over the globe.â€

“It is truly shocking to see how close you can get to someone in four short, albeit emotionally charged, days! Moreover, as ÆßÐDzʿª½±â€™s Head Delegate, I worked to develop leadership skills and I had the privilege of getting to know both McMUN’s secretariat and ÆßÐDzʿª½± delegates personally, thus making me all the more attached to and invested in the conference.â€

For the first time ever, DCMUN students will be headed to Massachusetts to attend the Harvard National Model United Nations conference Feb. 15 -18. They will also be attending other local college and university conferences throughout the semester.

1,000 Species, a year in review

November 29th, 2023

Birds, beetles and fungi, oh my! Our 1,000 Species in 1,000 Days project has been running for a full year now.

Over that last year, students, faculty and staff have all contributed their talents and curiosity to get as many species identified on campus as possible. Our count after one year is 820 species, with 3,916 total observations and 279 people contributing to the project.

We have made amazing strides over the past year. However, as we approach 1,000 species, we will have to work harder than ever. If you would like to get involved, or get your classes involved in the spring, email bmader@dawsoncollege.qc.ca.

Happy identifyingÌý everyone!

Students share summer neuroscience research projects at Montreal labs

November 9th, 2023

Thirteen ÆßÐDzʿª½± students spent their summer working on real research projects in various fields of neuroscience.

There were eight projects in partnership with Polytechnique/Ste-Justine, MNI, Douglas Institute, McGill departments of Physiology and of Pharmacology and Therapeutics. According to Neuroscience Research Group coordinator Hélène Nadeau: “some projects used images from dMRI, EEG, MRI, fMRI, MR spectroscopy, or PET modalities to probe questions related to the health of neonates, to audition in the normal population, or to pathologies such as schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, or Alzheimer’s disease.

“OtherÌýprojects relied on experiments on mice or rats, to better understand physiological mechanisms related to pathologies. In the course of the academic year, several teams worked on a large array of projects combining behavioural and EEG data.â€

Three of the students shared their projects in interviews with the Communications Office. Visit the Read More link to see their projects and interviews.
