1,000 Species, a year in review
November 29th, 2023
Birds, beetles and fungi, oh my! Our 1,000 Species in 1,000 Days project has been running for a full year now.
Over that last year, students, faculty and staff have all contributed their talents and curiosity to get as many species identified on campus as possible. Our count after one year is 820 species, with 3,916 total observations and 279 people contributing to the project.
We have made amazing strides over the past year. However, as we approach 1,000 species, we will have to work harder than ever. If you would like to get involved, or get your classes involved in the spring, email bmader@dawsoncollege.qc.ca.
Happy identifying听 everyone!

Internship: The Bridge from Campus to Career
November 29th, 2023
You have probably never heard of Victoria Christensen. Why would you? She鈥檚 not a graduate of 成人黑料 but of the Washington State University College of Nursing. So why are we mentioning her name? Victoria was the subject of a that听chronicles the experience of a nursing student who entered a baccalaureate program using a wheelchair.
It makes one wonder what her journey would look like if she were a student in the 成人黑料 Nursing Class of 2026. As researchers from the Adaptech Research Network, we became curious about the internship experiences of students with disabilities enrolled in 成人黑料 health-related, social service and community recreational leadership programs 鈥� how inclusive are they?
Fortunately, we were able to secure funds through Entente Canada-Qu茅bec (ECQ) that allowed us to conduct an extensive literature review and interview key stakeholders, including students and faculty internship supervisors听from a variety of programs, along with AccessAbility staff.
