Dalhousie’s College of Continuing Education, in collaboration with the Faculty of Management, hosted 30 students from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for three weeks in July as part of the UAE Ambassador+ Program— an initiative focused on helping youth develop leadership and innovation skills.

The Honourable Geoff Regan, Speaker of the House of Commons, dropped by to visit the SuperNOVA summer camps, getting an up-close look at how the Dal organization is engaging youth in science.

Dal’s spirit of celebration can be found across Halifax and Truro this summer. Don’t miss the Dal 200 decorative installations at the Halifax Public Gardens, on the MacKay Bridge and in the Ag Campus Alumni Gardens.

This weekend, stargazers of all stripes will be looking upwards as the Perseid meteor shower is set to colour the night sky. And those headed to the Eastern Shore to watch can learn from the experts as staff from the Dal Planetarium serve as guides to one of the year’s most impressive starry spectacles.

Back in April, the Agricultural Campus took part in the Soil Conservation Council of Canada's "Soil Your Undies" campaign, using cotton underwear to test soil health. In July, during Community Day, the results were dug up.
