Dal and its partners celebrated the grand opening of the new Emera ideaHUB on Sexton Campus this Thursday, a space for young companies and entrepreneurs to develop unique technologies and compete on a global scale.

In a new role at Dal, Anya Waite is a key leader in ocean research and serves as scientific director of the global Ocean Frontier Institute. But she's also building on a personal journey that not only intersects with ÈâÈ⴫ý at multiple points but has taken her all around the world.

Christopher Elson, chair of ÈâÈ⴫ý’s French department, has been named to the rank of Chevalier (Knight) in the Ordre of the Palmes Académiques — one of the oldest civil orders of the French Republic, honouring distinguished individuals in education.

Highlights of presentations and decisions from the March 11 and 25 meetings of the ÈâÈ⴫ý Senate.

Space and geography fans of all ages gathered at the Killam Library last week to get their first look at the new Chris Hadfield Space Photographs Collection.
