Improving communications to students was an objective of the Strategic Planning group and the Communications Office. This semester, the Dawson Insider continues to go out to students via MIO every Friday. It is intended to bring need-to-know information to students in the form of a brief bulletin.

Students need to make sure they know the rules at Dawson before submitting assignments or taking tests. The Communications Office and the Deans Group created a 90-second video to make students aware of the ISEP policy and the importance of knowing the rules.
Students will be invited to watch the video in the student bulletin, named Dawson Insider, edition of Sept. 12 delivered via MIO to all students.
