Dawson College in Montreal was the first English-language institution in the Quebec network of CEGEPs when it opened its
doors to 1,200 students in the fall of 1969.
The College is named for Sir William Dawson, a McGill University principal from 1855 to 1893. His leadership helped McGill
to build a solid foundation in academia and in material acquisitions, which has, in turn, established the institution as
one of the great seats of learning in North America.
In 1988, Dawson College moved to the former Mother House of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame, consolidating all its facilities
under one roof. Extensive renovations rendered the century-old building into one of the
most attractive, modern and well-equipped colleges in the country, occupying an entire city block, between de Maisonneuve
Blvd. and Sherbrooke St., and Atwater and Wood Aves. The College is linked underground to the Atwater Métro station.
Montreal Dawson College on is committed to providing excellence in college education within a welcoming and stimulating environment.
