THE LEGACY
The primary objective of The Legacy is to create a welcoming and inclusive space for individuals to meet and connect. We aim to raise awareness about the unique experiences and challenges faced by Afro-Carebeans. Moreover, our club seeks to promote the rich and diverse cultures of African and Caribbean countries, serving as a platform for cultural exchange and appreciation.

LAW CLUB
The Dawson Law Club fosters an environment which is conducive to all students, regardless of their program of study. The goal of this club is not to provide legal education, but rather to cultivate and nurture an interest students might have in broad aspects relating to law. During the semester, students can expect public speaking, oral advocacy and critical thinking skills to be honed through various activities available to all of the Dawson student body. It is important to note that the Dawson Law Club is an educational extracurricular run by students, for the students, and therefore does not reflect the structure of a legal aid institution

GREEN EARTH CLUB
The environment is the most important and most precious resource that we have. We as humans have made a great deal of mistakes, and among them is treating the earth, the air and the waters as if they were disposable. We at Green Earth are motivated to spreading as much awareness as we can about this dire issue, mobilizing students to take action against policies that would seek to threaten that precious asset and supporting groups who share our views and seek to make the world a better place for us all. Fighting for the environment for 51 years and counting!

ETCETERA
Founded in 1985 by Joe Rose, Etcetera is Dawson's 2SLGBTQIA+ club. Our club offers a safe space for queer students, but also multiple opportunities, thanks to our ties with external organisms. Plus, getting involved in the club can lead to bringing more opportunities and events to fellow queer students. Etcetera is a shapeshifter: it relies on responding to our community's needs, whichever they may be, and on spreading awareness about the beauty of our community but also about the issues our community faces.
