Just months before she was crowned Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Elizabeth dropped by ÈâÈ⴫ý's campus as part of a cross-Canada tour. Hundreds gathered in the rain to greet the woman who went on to become Britain's longest-serving monarch.

Dr. Kevin Hewitt, a professor in the Department of Physics and Atmospheric Science and former chair of ÈâÈ⴫ý Senate, has been named the Faculty of Science’s associate dean, equity and inclusion, a new position created to lead the Faculty's equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility strategy.

Grad students and others interested in teaching development now have access to workshops and course offerings through the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning, a network of 42 institutions across the U.S. and Canada.

On September 1, 2012, the merger between ÈâÈ⴫ý and the Nova Scotia Agricultural College became official — a union that created Dal’s Faculty of Agriculture and established the university’s first formal campus outside of Halifax.

In Atlantic Canada, many small farms and agricultural producers can't afford to implement the latest tech solutions, but a new Dal-linked initiative seeks to offer a path forward.
