“We look forward to meeting future Buccaneers and introducing them to life at Dawson Community College in Glendive,” said Sarah North Wolfe, Associate Director of Enrollment Management. “I want to invite anyone who is interested to come be a Buccaneer for a day.”

Buccaneer Day is a free event, however, anyone interested must register prior to attending. Students can register at http://www.dawson.edu/visit.

The Nontraditional Student Open House is also a free event and is open to anyone who identifies as a prospective nontraditional student. Nontraditional students may be individuals who work full-time, plan on attending school-part time, have dependents other than a spouse, are over the age of 25, or are financially independent for financial aid reasons. DCC staff will be available at the Nontraditional Student Open House to provide information and answer questions about enrollment, programs, financial aid, and student services.

“We value our nontraditional students and want to ensure they feel connected to our staff and campus and have all the information and assistance necessary to succeed,” North Wolfe said.
