COMMUNITY & ACTIVISM CLUBS

Promoting and celebrating African and Caribbean initiatives and projects.

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

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!

The DFU is an important part of Dawson's student-run associations. We hold events and fundraisers and have important discussions and debates surrounding real world issues that affect women in a variety of ways. In a world rife with inequality, we hope to inspire students to do the best they can to make it a better place for everyone.

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.

Al-Raya is a Palestinian solidarity club committed to advancing the Palestinian cause through a number of initiatives aimed at raising awareness, building solidarity, and celebrating Palestinian culture. Our dynamic range of activities include thought-provoking film screenings, engaging discussions, and educational workshops.
