February 12th, 2026
The Communications Office launched a weekly student photo contest two weeks ago called Dawson Through Your Lens. Every week, a winner is selected and their photo is published in the Dawson Insider, the weekly student bulletin that goes out via MIO to all students on Friday afternoons and on the College Instagram account.
Last week's winner was taken by Tianna Maughn on Dec. 3, 2025 from a window in the Library. Tianna's caption: "A beautiful shot of the setting sun sparkling on the snow! A nice reminder of the beauty of Dawson’s campus while studying." To see this week's winner, check out the Insider on Friday.
