CBC Daybreak did a live broadcast from Dawson College on Sept. 19 in honour of the 50th<\/sup> anniversary.<\/p>\n

Journalist Shari Okeke was on site, first in the Colab with the living garden wall and then in the Upper Atrium, from 5:45 a.m. until 9 a.m. Dawson College was featured throughout the show and the audience heard directly from Dawson students, teachers, staff, and athletes.<\/p>\n

The show began with a feature interview with historian and teacher Janice Harvey, who was in the first cohort of students in 1969 and then came back to teach in 1975, and Chris Whittaker, a Physics teacher involved in active learning and the evolution of education.<\/p>\n

Daybreak listeners called in, emailed and texted their own memories of Dawson as well.<\/p>\n

Geoff Kloos of the First Year Students Office spoke about the transition to cegep and helping students navigate through their first year of cegep life. Student Echo Jiang shared how the office supported her and a little about her active student life at Dawson, including the Chinese Club.<\/p>\n
