Insightful mental health information on Station SME website

September 26th, 2024

We often encounter students who are in distress, but we, as staff members, don’t always know how to address them. You can find insightful mental health information on the Station SME website, which was developed as a part of the Ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur’s Mental Health Action Plan.

Station SME is a mental health resource divided into two sections that includes (1) mental health tools for students and (2) information for staff members on how to support student mental health. You can explore different themes, like crisis management, access toolkits and view initiatives from other higher education institutions.

Visit the link to go to the Station SME website.

(Re)introduction to Student Services

With a new director and a variety of new staff throughout the department, the Student Services team is excited to start the 2024-2025 academic year off on the right foot. It began with Welcome Days before the first day of class, where a record 2,675 students attended to learn more about Dawson and their respective…

Record number of new students attended Welcome Days

August 29th, 2024

Welcome Days occurred on August 19 and 20, 2024 with a record attendance of 2,675 students! This is an increase of 279 students over last year.

Excited students attended presentations, explored the college, and learned about opportunities to get involved in Campus Life. They also took pictures with Blue, our celebrity volunteer, who was hard at work (see here)!

One of the highlights of this year was handing out agendas to the students. This project stemmed from a months-long collaboration between Student Services and the Dawson Student Union to offer this in-demand item.

Welcome Days is a team effort meaning that it can’t be successful without the participation of multiple departments, teachers, staff and student volunteers. I’d like to thank everyone that helped make these two days possible, whether you gave a program presentation, set up one of the rooms, worked at the sign-in table, promoted your service, took students from one place to another or handed out popcorn!
