Dawson’s First Career Showcase Day
November 5th, 2025
Ten career programs collaborated to organize Dawson’s first-ever Career Showcase Day on Nov. 4.
Coordinated by Laurel Breidon, Co-coordinator of Professional Photography, the goal was to offer mini experiences of the kinds of learning and work opportunities available in the participating career programs.
Students could play mini putt at the Community, Recreation and Leadership Training booth, make a lampshade at the Product Design booth and get behind the lens at the Photography and Video booth.
Despite the metro doors being locked to the venue, the Lower Atrium, dozens of students found their way to the event.
“For us, we managed to sign up at least a dozen students for the Student for a Day experience in Professional Photography,” Laurel reported. “Everyone who participated was happy and felt although it was a bit quiet, it was a good experience. The set up was good and it was a good template to follow next time.”
Thanks to the faculty and students who organized and staffed it.
