The Dawson Community College admissions department is hosting a campus view day February 13, 2012. All high school seniors, juniors, and parents of prospective students are invited to join us on-campus in Glendive to experience a day in the life of a DCC student. From 8:30 - 2:00, all visiting students will have the opportunity to experience a college class, learn about academic programs and student services, quiz a panel of current DCC students, meet instructors or coaches, connect with other future students, and receive a full tour of the newly expanded DCC campus.
