Dawson College strives to help students successfully complete their program of studies, but it also encourages students to take an active interest in the world around them, including shared values in our society such as increased awareness of environmental issues.

Environmental education at Dawson College takes a multidisciplinary approach that fosters learning and increases each student’s knowledge and awareness about the environment. Students will develop the necessary skills and expertise to address the challenges, and develop attitudes, the motivation and commitment to make informed decisions and to take responsible action (UNESCO, Tbilisi Declaration, 1978).
