Quebec first: Dawson students bound for Hamburg after winning global science competition
August 27th, 2025
Nine Dawson College students are heading to Hamburg this September after winning a major international science competition. The “Dawson Technicolor” team will spend two weeks at DESY, Germany’s renowned particle physics laboratory, to test their own detector using a particle accelerator.
The student-initiated project began nearly a year ago in the context of the Dawson High Energy Physics group, led by Physics faculty members Manuel Toharia and Joel Trudeau. With funding from the Dawson Foundation, the team designed and built a muon detector called The Scintillating Chamber during the winter 2025 semester. Teacher Manuel believes this prototype was key to the team’s winning proposal in CERN’s prestigious Beamline for Schools (BL4S) competition.

Kim Vose Jones: Lifeboat: An Unnatural History
August 27th, 2025
The Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery presents an exhibition by Dawson alumna Kim Vose Jones, who is now based in Fredericton, New Brunswick. While researching her family genealogy, she discovered her ancestor, Ann Dodin, arrived in Quebec in 1669, along with over 800 French girls known as the Filles du Roi, who sailed to the New World to populate the land with French settlers. In four stunning tableaux, Jones draws a parallel with the fates of humans fleeing genocide, war, and poverty across the globe, and draws lines between the treatment of women, the environment, and the project of Empire then and in 2025.

Environmental award for Dawson team at Science, on tourne!
May 14th, 2025
Dawson Enriched Science students Liam Ali-Tse, Veronica Chneerov, and George Alshami say they “learned countless things that a classroom environment cannot teach” by participating in Science, on tourne!, a unique intercollegiate science and technology competition held annually in Quebec. They also won the environmental responsibility award, which was $1,000, and did very well overall.
“Physics in reality is different than what we see on paper,” they said in a team interview about the competition. “There are often many more factors and variables in a real scenario than one may expect. In addition, we learnt the importance of thorough planning.”
