Stories of the important work by Dal’s communities are found throughout this year’s edition of ±«Óătv’s Community Report.
“At ±«Óătv, we pride ourselves on being a gathering place where diverse ideas, lived experiences and goals are supported by a network of inspired relationships that begin on campus and extend locally, nationally and globally,” writes Frank Harvey, Dal's acting president and vice-chancellor, in the report’s opening message.
The Community Report, released each spring, highlights stories, projects and experiences that demonstrate Dal’s important role in our local community and across the region, country and world. For this year’s report, students, faculty, staff, and alumni were asked to share their stories about the work they do to make a difference in their communities.
