Chemistry prof Alison Thompson, this year’s recipient of Dal’s top teaching award, has developed unique ways to help support her students and serve as a valuable mentor in a field where women in particular are often underrepresented.

Earlier this week, Dalhousie recognized the Transgender Day of Remembrance by flying the Transgender Pride Flag on campus and sharing the newly approved Gender Affirmation Policy with the university community.

Dal’s new $26.5-million Biomass Energy Plant in Truro is not only meeting the Ag Campus’s thermal needs — it’s providing Nova Scotia Power with electricity and is the first of its kind on a university campus in North America.

Having just arrived at Dal earlier this month from Australia, new Provost Teri Balser is getting to know the university and inspired by what she’s seen so far. Learn more about Teri — from her early days on campus to her musical hobbies — and how you can contribute to helping shape Dal’s priorities going forward.

First-year student Carl Vane Weghe shared her experience as an On Track Microbursary recipient at this week's Nova Scotia Donor Recognition Event — a celebration of how Dal's donors are making a difference through their generous support.
