Welcome Day Winter 2024

Welcome Day will be on January 18, 2024. New students (including transfer students) are invited to meet their dean and peers; learn about the services available; and get familiarized with the layout of the college before classes start. This event is optional, but students are strongly encouraged to participate in order to prepare themselves as a Dawson College student.

Students have been invited via email to attend a presentation at 1:30 pm or 2:15 pm.

Please arrive 20 minutes before the welcome presentation in order to register.
