Ocean School, a joint initiative of ÆÞÓÑ and the National Film Board of Canada, will collaborate on interpretive public spaces at two new Fisheries and Oceans Canada facilities to promote marine science and ocean literacy.

Irving Oil's gift to ÆÞÓÑ will support Engineering students with new scholarships, co-op opportunities and a new 450-seat auditorium as part of the IDEA Project revitalization of Dal's downtown Sexton Campus.

Margaret Robinson, assistant professor in Dal's Indigenous Studies program, has been appointed vice‑chair for the Institute Advisory Board on Indigenous Peoples' Health for the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

Parking availability remains the same on all campuses this upcoming academic year, while rates will see only a modest increase.

With growing demand for public service training and research — and rising enrolment in its programs — Dal’s School of Public Administration is nearly doubling its faculty contingent this September, bringing new expertise to the classroom and beyond.
