Since opening in 1969 as the first English-language CEGEP, Dawson has been a leader in education, sustainability, and student engagement. Its commitment to environmental initiatives earned it a gold rating from STARS, and its bustling student life includes a vibrant clubs scene, a nationally recognized athletics program, and award-winning publications like The Plant. Whether in the classroom, on stage, or on the field, Dawson continues to shape the next generation of thinkers, creators, and leaders.
