Dawson community achieved Push-Up Challenge goal
March 1st, 2024
This winter the Dawson Community stepped up to the challenge of being active and supporting mental health initiatives! After 23 days, the Push-Up Challenge has concluded with the achievement of our modest community goal of 2,000 repetitions from all participants. In fact, we reached over 31 times that amount with 62,729 repetitions! We couldn’t have done it without two very dedicated teams: Sigma Nation (20,666 reps) and the Dawson Phys. Ed. Team (13,976 reps)! In addition, Dawson College raised $705 for the Canadian Mental Health Association.
Student Services and Human Resources worked together to offer participation prizes to students and staff. Prizes included gift certificates for IGA, Sports Experts, Lulu Lemon, Cage aux Sports and more! The winners are currently being contacted.
Many thanks to all the participants and organizers, especially Rhea Gurnagul who was present at the Push-Up Challenge Station almost every lunch time!
Our hope is that the Dawson community will continue to stay active and build a habit of working out regularly.

Student Services providing support for student housing needs
January 24th, 2024
Student Services is now providing support for students with housing needs. Amy Soulis of Student Services says the goal is “to inform students of all housing options and the importance of knowing their rights as tenants.”
“We visited numerous dormitory-style housing options around the school and have them listed on our webpage,” said Amy Soulis, who works in Dawson’s Student Employment Centre and has now added housing support to her portfolio. The webpage is Housing (Off Campus) – Dawson College.
Dawson has partnered with Places4students website (Places4Students.com - Dawson College - Montreal, QC) to offer a database of available housing options to students.
Any student who needs assistance can email Amy at: amsoulis@dawsoncollege.qc.ca
Student Services also offered a housing rights workshop last semester. Another one is being considered for this semester. The purpose is to explain renters’ rights to students.
