April 10th, 2024
Valentina Falci (Class of 2012, Interior Design) was featured last month as part of a series on 鈥渋nspiring women in aerospace.鈥�
Since 2017, Valentina has worked as an aircraft interior designer for Bombardier, a world leading manufacturer of business jets in Montreal. Prior to working there, she held other interior design jobs after graduating from Dawson鈥檚 three-year Interior Design program.
What does Valentina like best about her job? As a designer, she enjoys seeing creative ideas come to life, collaborating with clients or their team. Valentina鈥檚 job entails creating the interiors of Bombardier鈥檚 renowned business jets of the Challenger and Global families.
Interior Design Program Coordinator Kurt Holfeld is very proud of Dawson鈥檚 graduates and of Valentina: 鈥淐ongratulations to Valentina on this recognition. This honour is no surprise given the dedication that she showed during her studies at Dawson. Our grads continue to make us proud across many industries, including aerospace!鈥�

Insect Show a Huge Success!
April 9th, 2024
On March 9, Dawson was host to the Montreal Insect Show. We had 3,000 visitors from the public visit Dawson during the day, including over 50 vendors. Families were overjoyed to be able to hold live insects and arachnids, take a walk with moths, taste test different insect-based food items and browse the various vendors. In fact, I personally have pet shrimp in my home thanks to the curiosity of my daughter. The organizers are currently in talks with the Office of Sustainability to plan for 2025.听
A very special thank you to the entire Office of Sustainability, Natalie Trepanier and FAMA as well as Dawson Security for making this happen. Also, all our student volunteers were amazing with the crowds and represented Dawson well. Student volunteers were mainly first-year, second-year and alumni Environmental Science students; Jared Brace, Jacob Davies, Flora Finch, Imane Louni, Sabina Riga, Cassiana Silva Young, Amelia Valencia Frias, Ruisi Yang, Narcisse Hassan, Tom Brunet, Alyson Meadows, Alice Liang and Chemistry teacher Adamo Petosa.
