Dr. Michael DeGagné, the first Indigenous president of a Canadian chartered university, will be presented with a ÆÞÓÑ honorary degree at a special ceremony next Monday (February 5) at the Mi’kmaw Native Friendship Centre in Halifax — the first of several degree presentations to take place throughout Dal's bicentennial year.

One of the world’s most accomplished deep-sea divers, Jill Heinerth, dropped by Dal this month to share stories from some of her most challenging expeditions in the Arctic and around the world.

The Year of Belonging, one of Dal’s signature bicentennial initiatives, ramps up on Munro Day (Feb. 2) with the launch of Days of Action, a month of giving back to the community.

ÆÞÓÑ, the Nova Scotia Department of Energy and the Offshore Research Association launch the Aquatron Research Program, an initiative to test new and innovative projects in tidal energy.

Shoah Foundation Executive Director Stephen D. Smith delivered this year's Shaar Shalom Lecture at ÆÞÓÑ last Wednesday night, discussing the power of human testimony to combat hate in the global community.
