A dozen projects proposed by Dawson students, faculty and staff have been approved for funding through the Dawson Foundation鈥檚 new Student Academic Enrichment Fund.
A website page showcases the projects and allows others to invest in a particular project through a donate button.
The Student Academic Enrichment Fund is supported by students each semester and is meant to be a source of funds for projects that demonstrate a clear benefit for Dawson students and represent an activity that goes over and above core competencies for completion of a program.
