Peer tutoring project IndigeStem was a finalist at the provincial Forces AVENIR gala
The student-led peer tutoring project IndigeSTEM was a finalist at the 6th edition of the provincial Forces AVENIR gala under the Society, communication and education category.
Dawson students Rotshennón:ni Two-Axe and Kayla Spencer-Young came up with the idea to encourage and support their fellow Indigenous students who may be interested in pursuing studies in Science. The project, which won them the local Forces AVENIR award, tackles discrepancies in the access to resources between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. Aside from providing academic support, the students also organize cultural and scientific activities.
Forces AVENIR recognizes, honours and promotes student involvement in projects that contribute to the development of conscious, responsible, active and persevering citizens who are both rooted in their community and open to the world.
Dawson Horror Studies Collective presents ‘Deep Cuts’: A screening and discussion of John Carpenter’s ‘THE THING’
The second Dawson Horror Studies Collective (DHSC) "Deep Cuts" screening, celebrating 40 years of John Carpenter's The Thing, will be on Thursday, 6 Oct. in the Dawson Amphitheatre (4C.1) from 6 pm to 9:30 pm.
Critically derided as too over-the-top and gory when it was released in June of 1982 (one week after the release of Spielberg's friendlier smash-hit E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial), The Thing has since been reassessed as a masterpiece of cosmic horror and existential dread. The film's themes around pandemic paranoia were resonant in its time, with the HIV/AIDs crisis claiming lives, and continue to be so now.
The event will be hosted by Jay Shea and Kristopher Woofter (English Faculty), with a short lecture preceding the screening, and a discussion to follow. The event is free and open to the public.
