CC4C Changemakers recognized
September 27th, 2023
On Sept. 21, four students were recognized as CC4C Creative Changemakers at a gala at the Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery at Dawson.
The four CC4C Creative Changemakers are: Kessy Ininahazwe 聽(General Social Science), Elishah Alphonse (General Social Science), Kylie Brown (Cinema | Communications) and Sarah Browne (Graphic Design).
Changemakers Kessy Ininahazwe and Elishah Alphonse made a song entitled 鈥淐an't bare no more鈥 about a poem that was written in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. They produced the 鈥渟ong so it can serve as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for racial justice and the need to celebrate and support black culture,鈥 Kessy said.
The students learned how to produce a song, which was a really long process. 鈥淲e can also say that we learned how to use our voice and creativity in the struggle for a better world,鈥 Kessy said.
The award 鈥渇eels really great because we worked so hard for this project and the fact that other people really enjoyed the song feels amazing to me,鈥 she said.
鈥淚t is such a pleasure to reward students who have such a dedication for positive change in this world,鈥 said Kim Simard (Faculty, Cinema | Communications) of the Creative Collective for Change (CC4C).
鈥淲e are lucky to have incredible students in our midst: curious, critical and creative. May we consistently value their important contributions,鈥 she said.
Kim said that it was a beautiful evening, and that they hope to see more like it in the future. Thanks again to Living Campus and the Warren G. Flowers Gallery for their unwavering support.
Humanities courses helped Dawson grad find his way and his why
September 27th, 2023
What鈥檚 the point? was the theme of the Humanities and Public Life Conference the week of Sept. 18 at Dawson and a graduate returned to answer this question in a most convincing way.
Andreas Nicolaidis-Gagnon (Class of 2022, Social Service) only met teacher Daniel Goldsmith after he took his Humanities course online during the pandemic. They continue to enjoy a lively discussion on What鈥檚 App about the themes in the Enlightened Consciousness聽course. It was through this ongoing conversation that Daniel had the idea to invite Andreas back to Dawson to speak to students about the value of Humanities courses.
