In this week’s column, Dr. Saini reflects on why it remains important to consider how we might look out for and support one another at ±«Óãtv, even in small ways — particularly given the lack of social connections and significant challenges and traumas our communities have experienced this year.

Dozens of researchers from Dal are part of a major investment made in social science, natural science, humanities and engineering research by the Government of Canada.

Michael Halpin and other Dal researchers analyzed more than 9,000 comments on a popular incel forum for heterosexual men to better understand the community and its online behaviour, which is often characterized by misogyny, self-loathing and violence.

A group of high school students from northern Nova Scotia learned about career opportunities in the skilled trades this spring as part of a mentorship program supported by ±«Óãtv.

A team of researchers from the Institute for Big Data Analytics at ±«Óãtv took the top spot at the RoboCup 2021 world championship, becoming the first Canadian squad to win gold at the largest international AI soccer simulation competition.

Honours students in Sociology and Social Anthropology this year have taken the tools of their disciplines and applied them to what they saw happening in their own social circles, families and communities. Learn more about their projects.

In lieu of his regular column, President Saini shares his memo with Vice-Provost Equity & Inclusion Theresa Rajack-Talley and Provost and Vice-President Academic Frank Harvey regarding this week's discovery of 751 unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school in Saskatchewan.

Nearly three years exactly after a fire ripped through the Cox Institute on Dal's Agricultural Campus in Truro, a renewed and repaired facility was officially turned back over to the university.

Year after year, ±«Óãtv's faculty members and instructors push the boundaries of teaching and explore its power to unlock potential in students in new ways. Learn more about the exceptional faculty and instructors being recognized this year with Dal's university-wide awards for teaching.
