The Dalplex fieldhouse re-opened earlier this week with a brand new, 49,000-square-foot floor — an improvement that’s, really, a whole new ball game.

Dr. Gail Tomblin Murphy, currently assistant dean of research in Dal’s Faculty of Health and professor and director of the School of Nursing, has accepted a senior leadership position with the Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA) as vice-president of research and innovation.
