Student Life

Citizen scientists across Atlantic Canada are volunteering their time to help Dal master’s student Bethany Nordstrom research jellyfish — all in an effort to better understand the leatherback sea turtles that feed off our shores.

Whether it's in his Bachelor of Social Work degree or helping support communications with his fellow students, Jordan Zarvie has been building skills to set his career on the right path.

PhD student Tiffany Gordon links her research on equality and responsibility in the justice system with her community work — from facilitating creative writing workshops in correctional facilities to organizing events for Prisoners’ Justice Day.

At the NS Sandboxes Project Incubation Bootcamp, held at the Dal-hosted ShiftKey Labs, student groups are developing apps focused on everything from scheduling meetings to helping new Canadians through the immigration process.

History student Alyshia Scott's Dal experience has taught her about drive, determination and being accountable for one's own success — whether in the classroom or working on campus in summer accommodations.
