Cuba through community: reflections from a student delegation
February 12th, 2026
On December 27, 2025, 19 second-year students from the Social Change and Solidarity program, accompanied by two teachers—Sara and Mark—and their supervisor, 5-year-old Amelia, embarked on a three-week solidarity trip to Cuba. While our program provides strong, classroom-based learning, it also emphasizes learning beyond the classroom and looking at the broader structures at play, which is why this trip has been an essential part of the curriculum for several years.

Dawson’s “Auntie” Brenda Paris part of McCord exhibit
January 29th, 2026
Since I started working at Dawson many years ago, I have always believed that it is not only an important educational institution but contributes much to the wider Montreal community. Another perfect example of that is happening at the McCord Stewart Museum right now.
Curated by Nadia Bunyan, Aunties’ Work: The Power of Care is a vital and stimulating exhibit that will provide much food for thought to all those who see it. For Dawson support staff, professionals and managers, you could go see the exhibit solo or with colleagues and use your one hour per week (four hours/month) of Well-Being for All Hours.

A message from organizer Janice Harvey (Dawson Scholar in Residence, History):
"Batshaw's Holiday Gift Drive collected presents for more than 2,000 children and teens this year. I wanted to thank the Dawson community for their generous and continued support of this effort to ensure children in care have something to make their holiday a little bit more enjoyable.
This year Dawson covered more than 74 children, among them a number of newborns and infants, youngsters needing winter clothes and others requesting toys instead, a number of teens, and, importantly, ten 17-year-olds who will leave the Youth Protection system at some point this year."
