Student Life

Students Mariam Ragab (Computer Science) and Madison Campbell (Kinesiology) travelled to Nunavut last month for Global Vision’s Arctic Youth Ambassador Caucus, an opportunity for youth from across Canada to share ideas on how to approach some of the challenges faced by Northern communities.

Medical Sciences student Aaron Prosper, a member of the Eskasoni First Nation, is passionate about representing Indigenous students on campus — in governance, culture, art and more.

Kaitlin Burek started her Marine Biology degree curious about the ocean. Three co-op terms at Dal have helped her discover how to take that curiosity and make it a career.

Thanks to a new practicum course at Dal, Harvard-bound Political Science student Zac Smith has been able to turn his interest in public policy into real-world experience.

Campus student Respect Reps Harley Johnson and Hasan Sinan joined 250 youth leaders last month at the fifth annual National Youth Reconciliation Conference — an opportunity to learn, collaborate and work towards improving relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada.
