Thank you Team Open House 2021

November 3rd, 2021

Dzʿ’s Open House 2021 was reimagined this year to help visitors experience the best version of the College and all it has to offer. We achieved record-breaking attendance by keeping the best elements of the first online Open House in 2020 and introducing new features and in-person tours for the first time since 2019.

Gone were the one-hour waits to have questions answered and navigating a hot, loud and crowded building. This year the maximum wait time for a question was not more than 2-3 minutes during the chat sessions for Open House on Oct. 24. Team Dzʿ Open House 2021 made sure the event was useful, smooth and pleasant for everyone.

Director General Diane Gauvin and Academic Dean Robert Cassidy would like to thank the more than 150 faculty members, current students and deans as well as managers, professionals and support staff from the Registrar's Office, the Communications Office, the Sustainability Office, Information Systems and Technology, Student Services, the Office of Academic Development and more.

Special thanks to Carey-Ann Pawsey, Jennifer de Vera, Lucy Segal, Ivana Bonaduce, Catherine Fusk, Marien Griffin, Dianne Hawryluck, Irene Kakoulakis, Antonina Nobile, Michele Pallett, Julie Pellegrino, Madalina Radu, Jane Valihora, Diane Wong, Carmela Gumelli, Julie Brosseau, Laura Paterson, Tommy Diamantakos, Maxwell Jones, Mylène Saucier, Dana Dragomir, Donna Varrica, Christina Parsons, Jonathan Perlman, Chris Georgieff, Pat Phutthavong, Virginia Law.

Professional Theatre presents Heavy Weather

September 29th, 2021

Heavy Weather by Lizzie Nunnery is about a young woman who faces the environmental crisis head-on as she embarks on a hero's journey in search of her mother, certainty and hope.

With an ensemble of protestors, onlookers, media, family and allies, Heavy Weather explores the complexity of protest, bias, agenda and manipulation, how to grapple with fear of the future, and self-discovery in how to own one’s power to change and inspire others.

With songs, brilliant humour, heart and truth, Heavy Weather is a timely play resonating with revolution and how, moment to moment, we can reinvent the future.

Playing next Wednesday-Saturday, Oct. 6 -9, at 8 p.m.

Tickets must be booked in advance: email lesau@dawsoncollege.qc.ca or call the Box Office at 514 931-5000.

The new age of Open House, recruitment and program promotion

September 29th, 2021

To say that everything has changed since March 2020 is an understatement. For educational institutions that rely heavily on in-person interaction at every level, recruitment activities have been particularly challenging to showcase the best we have to offer while respecting necessary COVID-19 measures.

For the second year, Dzʿ will host a virtual Open House on Sunday, Oct. 24. The day’s activities will be held in two parts: at 11 a.m. and at 12:15 p.m., there will be webinars on how to apply given by Admissions and Advising. After, prospective students and parents will have a chance to ask questions online. The Q&A will be moderated.

Later in the afternoon, live chat sessions will be open from 2 to 5 p.m. during which prospective students can engage in one-on-one chats with teachers in the specific programs they are interested in. A minimum of two program/profile representatives are encouraged to participate in the chats and are asked to fill out the form under Non-Academic Services on to provide names and information no later than Sept. 30 so that a sufficient number of licenses can be arranged.

Technical programs may choose to augment their program promotion efforts with a number of different online and in-person options that are being presented to them, bearing in mind pandemic precautions and measures that must be respected for “non-essential” activities on campus.
