HERE'S TO OUR GRADS

Dalhousie celebrated Fall Convocation on Tuesday, with two ceremonies at the Halifax Convention Centre honouring our newest members of the Class of 2019. Congrats to all, and read below for profiles of just some of our outstanding new graduates!

A degree for all fields

Amy Hak, a grad of Dal's Master of Information Management program, is already putting her new knowledge and skills to work in her role as a forensic officer at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands.

Mastering her creativity

For her master’s thesis, Emily Fraser conducted research on the craft economy on Cape Breton Island, investigating how craft practice and production is bound up in place and purpose.

An international experience

Computer Science grad Faye Teeuwen's studies have taken her to Australia, the Netherlands and deep into the world of co-op education.

A sense of community

MSc Occupational Therapy grad Kailee Garfield on what she learned during her studies, what she'll miss most about Dal, and what's next for her.

Stretch yourself

In the final steps of his MBA journey, Paul van Galder got an offer he couldn’t refuse as a microfinance advisor in Malawi — an opportunity that has opened the door to a career in international banking.

From 'lightbulb' moments to practice

When Carolyn Crane began her studies in the School of Physiotherapy, she thought she wanted to work in a private clinic or with athletes. But, as she entered her first placement in acute care, she knew a hospital setting was the place for her.
