With most dental clinics shut down during the pandemic, Dalhousie's Faculty of Dentistry is one of the few clinics in the province still providing emergency dental care. Not only have they met high safety standards in doing so, but in teaching others their protocols, they've helped expand emergency dental care to other communities in the province.

Two of Dal’s most prominent buildings — the Henry Hicks Building in Halifax and Cumming Hall in Truro — were lit up blue at night to remember those who lost their lives in the tragic events in Nova Scotia this month and to show support for our broader community.

Following a rich career working with Indigenous communities across the region, Cathy Martin is returning to her alma mater in a new role focused on furthering reconciliation through collaboration with Indigenous partners in the region, particularly the Mi’kmaq.

Taking place early next month, the COVID-19 Virtual Hackathon will see teams of students and professionals come together remotely to find solutions to some of the challenges brought by COVID-19.

Even though classes and exams have moved online, Dalhousie students and their peers across the country have found amazing ways to contribute to COVID-19 efforts.
