Their main change was creating two events to alleviate…

The Dawson community has now reached the goal of identifying 1,000 species on our downtown Montreal urban campus!
One of the species identified was the Red-Shouldered Hawk, photographed by Doug Smyth (Faculty, Physical Education).
Students, graduates, faculty and staff gained so much from the project.
Dawson Environmental Science graduate Ruisi Yang said: "This project boosted my confidence in the potential of making urban environments more sustainable and friendly to both people and the local biodiversity."
Current Dawson student Graham Alain said: "This project made me realize how many species could truly make use of such a small area. I would've initially guessed that fewer than 200 species would've inhabited the campus...This project will hopefully have an impact on how I treat my local environment, such as my lawn and back yard. I'm rethinking how important these places are..."
Teacher Adamo Petosa said: "We are surrounded by something extraordinary. We simply have to take the time to explore. Taking part in this project was akin to finding the key to "a secret garden", waiting to share its secrets. We are not alone on campus. Rather, we are less than one in a thousand.
"The 1000 species project gives hope. In the midst of concrete and traffic, exhaust and bustle, a tiny campus besieged by a battalion of buildings manages to sustain life at a scale I could have never fathomed. Over 1,000 species here, within this tiny oasis - living, growing and thriving. I'm also incredibly grateful to those who made such a campus possible and to those who ensure its upkeep."
More to come on the impact of this extraordinary project that has inspired Dawson and many outside of Dawson to connect to Nature.
How would you describe your teaching philosophy? I am most interested in the cultural and emotional environment design of a classroom, holding space for the diverse ways of existing in the world, and cultivating a sense of belonging for all. I believe that every student has a rich body of knowledge from their own lived…
How would you describe your teaching philosophy?聽 Teaching depends less on how well a teacher presents but depends more on how well the students understand. If a student already knows everything, s/he need not come to class. The reason why s/he comes to class is because s/he wants to learn something. Not only am I…
How would you describe your teaching philosophy?聽 In the blur of the semester, teaching feels too elusive and too organic for a stable, well-considered philosophy. Ideally, each class is as spontaneous as a conversation. Most of the time I feel like an underslept vaudevillian trying to get students to hear the sound of their own…
How would you describe your teaching philosophy? I haven’t really thought about this. If there is one thing I feel is most important, then it’s caring for our students. I realize they are going through life, just as we are. They have highs and lows, goals and struggles. Our courses are but a small stepping…
