Community

Members of the Dal community came together this month to sort clothes, toys, toiletries and other donations for Adsum House, a Halifax-based non-profit that provides housing and essential goods and services to women.

A rare-books librarian, a university locksmith, and a computer technician were among the dozens of Dal employees celebrated for 25, 35, and 45 years of service to the university last week.

Support animals like Dal's Luna and Guinness can give students a much-needed break from the stress of university life.

Iranian-born Dr. Maryam Abdollahi, a postdoctoral fellow at Dal, has demonstrated that having the right support system and a willingness to embrace and learn from challenges can lead to great things.

Computer Science Professor Dr. Nur Zincir-Heywood founded Dal's Women in Technology Society close to two decades ago. This week, the group launched an award in her name at a gala just days after she received national recognition with an appointment to the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.
