Written by Sophia El Bakir The week of September 7th 2021 was a busy week for Dawson. Not only were students still getting acclimated to the beginning of the semester, but the DSU had a triple-event week: mask awareness campaign, frosh week and club fair! MASK AWARENESS CAMPAIGN While not as spectacular and attractive as frosh week and club fair, this event was quite important. With students coming back to school in person for the first time in sixteen months, COVID-19 rules had to be reiterated for the sake of keeping the school open year-long. Nonetheless, the DSU and their volunteers still managed to keep it fun and informative. Beautiful artistic posters were made; gift bags with hand-sanitizers and candy were handed out; masks dispensaries were put in place. All to ensure student safety through and through. “I feel like the Mask Awareness Campaign was very informative for students and teachers. I think that it taught them the importance of wearing their mask and covering their mouth and nose.” – Brendan Schwartz FROSH WEEK Tuesday, Conrod’s was turned into a circus carnival. Every table presented a game. From dart-throwing to Jenga to Russian Roulette, there really was a game for every taste. Even if it had encountered a few hitches at the beginning, it ran smoothly the rest of the day and attracted many students. “Out of all the events that had occurred the past weeks, this one had the most engagement.” -Gurpreet Kaur But games were not the only treats students were in for, because for the volunteers, Frosh Week was a quizzical, potluck social experience. It was the perfect opportunity to mingle with other students at a time where beginning-of-the-semester jitters were still very present. “I met so many people and some of them became my best friends. Thank you guys for everything and for making it lively and fun. ” – Mayesha The tumultuous activities of frosh week finished off with a karaoke café. Students were able to go to Conrod’s, grab a cup of steaming hot cocoa and listen to some grade-A entertainment: students singing karaoke to their heart’s content. CLUB FAIR Clubs from all different ranges had set up their kiosks in hopes of recruiting new members. Although some clubs should have been a bit more prepared according to certain students, they still gained many new members as the sign-up sheets filled to the brim would testify. This semester, student engagement reached a new high with seven newly founded clubs, such as Dawson Vocal & Instrumental Club, Japanese Culture Appreciation club, Freedom Alliance, etc. in addition to the veteran clubs, such as Sci-Fi, Feminist Union, Chill Club, etc. With all these new groups, campus life will surely be quite eventful the next few semesters.

It was the perfect opportunity for the students to relax and take a moment away from their studies. Students were welcomed to join activities such as yoga, art sessions, Zootherapy and board games. They all took place in 5B.16, the 3C cafeteria and Conrad’s. Stress Free Week: A Break from The Chaos Written by Sarah Quach MONTREAL, QC (December 7th 2021) Finals, term-papers, sleepless nights and last-minute assignments, a myriad of students from Dawson College seem to be stuck in an endless cycle of work and tests. The end of the semester is approaching rapidly. Who knew four months could pass so quickly? These past months have been a difficult, and more importantly, stressful period for many. Whether it was the transition from high school to CEGEP or the switch from online learning to on-campus classes, several students faced new challenges throughout the term. All in all, everyone is going through a great amount of stress and what better way to relieve it than participating in DSU’s stress free event? “Inhale. Exhale.” This year, the union decided to offer many activities: board games, Zootherapy, yoga sessions and art sessions. “The events are diverse. There’s a bit of everything for everyone.” -Mai-Annie Huynh There were various games to play: chess, dominos and a myriad of other board games. It is never too late to learn a new game! Child’s Pose, Downward Dog, Cobra Pose… The yoga session was an amazing way to take everyone’s mind off of the hectic weeks to come. Who would have imagined doing yoga at the 3C cafeteria? Zootherapy was one of the favourites out there. The DSU got a lot of feedback on how much the students appreciated the activity. Birds, ferrets, hedgehogs, dogs and a variety of other animals from Jimmy Zoo made a splash on campus. Multiple students shared the love through Instagram by sharing adorable snapshots and videos. They were more than thrilled to interact with cute furry friends! Furthermore, participants of the activities were given raffle tickets to win exciting prizes, including a 110$ value Bota Bota gift card, an Indigo gift card, a David’s Tea box set, a spa gift card, and many more fun prizes. Essentially, the winners were given the opportunity to relax and take some time for self-care. “It shows that there’s a lot of thought and effort that goes into it. It’s a unique and interesting event!’’ --Claudia Soplopuco MORE THAN JUST ACTIVITIES Volunteers from the DSU were extremely pleased with the students’ enthusiasm! Moreover, many students were given the chance to interact with new people from campus and make friends! Like all the other exciting events hosted by the DSU, the goal was to offer Dawson’s students a chance to make great memories on campus and new friendships while learning new skills or exploring new interests. These events are about building a strong community of students and spreading love. Stress Free Week was no different to the other events; it was a complete success! All in all, do not forget to take some time off from school, relax and enjoy the present! Mental health matters and it is crucial! “I appreciate that the school thinks about our mental health.” --Jennifer Lu The DSU community wishes everyone a fantastic end of semester and wonderful holidays!

Climate Justice Week Written by Sophia El Bakir 24th of September 2021 was the day of the Climate Justice March in Montreal, and of course, Dawson mobilised to show their support to this extremely important cause. Throughout the whole week leading up to that Friday, the Green Earth Club had meeting after meeting to paint posters for the protest, organise the logistics of the march, set up a General Assembly that would cancel classes, etc. Ultimately, a compromise was made and teachers were encouraged to be more amenable to students missing class. On the day of the protest, a group of Dawson students had gathered and started marching in the halls of the college. They chanted all around the school, then made their way to McGill campus to unite forces with these university students. “ Dawson merging with McGill was really amazing. It fostered a sense of community and solidarity, which I think is super important in cases like these when we're up against huge all-powerful conglomerates.” - A student at the protest WHY THEY MARCHED While obviously not as busy as the 2019 protest with Greta Thunberg that gathered half a million people, this one still garnered thousands of people from all ages and of course, students from colleges and universities. They decide to cut time out of their busy day and take part in this act of civil disobedience for a myriad of reasons: they want to see change; they had witnessed the devastating effects of global warming during the pandemic; they want their children to live in a world where forests are not razed to the ground but planted instead. “I wanted to go to the protest because I’m frustrated by the lack of action coming from our government. After being 500 000 in the streets in 2019, we have seen little policies or initiatives,” Chloe Shepard, Green Earth Club member. Indeed, the goal of this march was to express a global frustration, so that change would be provoked. Marches are an opportunity for solidarity in the face of a crisis. Whether they are from the same school, or from the same ethnicity, people put their differences aside to send one powerful message. WHAT TO DO MORE Nonetheless, showing up at protest is not enough for long-lasting shifts to ensue. As it appears, many students have expressed concern about the ephemeral effect of Climate Justice Week. Mia Kennedy, Green Earth Club executive says, “It's incredible to see that many take time out of their day to come march,” but at the same time she amends, “I have to hold myself back from too much excitement because I know that this amount of support is temporary. The day of the march comes. Everyone is excited to talk about climate. The day of the march passes. Everyone forgets. I'm just hoping that people can get excited about the climate more than once a year. Whether it's through your vote, your habits, your way of seeing the world, there are so many ways people can positively contribute to the movement.” Summary for newsletter: on the 24th of September was Climate Justice protest.
