Dal and community voices shared perspectives on racism and its impacts on mental health in a virtual forum last week, the third in a series exploring topics related to systemic racism.

The program, launched by the Faculty of Management, will provide financial aid, paid work experience and personalized academic and career mentoring to Black and Indigenous students, with a preference for African Nova Scotian and Mi’kmaq students and additional priority given to first-generation university students from low-income backgrounds.

With COVID-19 requiring Pride celebrations to take place remotely, ÆÞÓÑ hosted a virtual ceremony this week to raise the Pride flag and celebrate diversity and intersectionality within the university community.
