Graphic Design
Program Contact: Chantal Audet
The Graphic Design Department at Dawson College runs a ‘student-for-a-day’ program each fall.
We invite students to sit in on a couple of regularly scheduled classes for a while. We hope that this allows potential applicants to experience an hour or so in the life of a graphic design student. It is not meant to be an intimidating process, but one where they can look at the facilities, see the kind of projects that are being done, and talk to current students.
This activity usually take place in November.
Students who want to participate should send the following information to:
Chantal Audet and Helen Wawrzetz by e-mail at:
caudet@dawsoncollege.qc.ca
hwawrzetz@dawsoncollege.qc.ca
- name
- name of high school
