Student Life

Hundreds of members of the Dal community converged on the Weldon Law Building last week for a day of learning, connection, and serendipity.

The Faculty of Agriculture's Barley Ring, given out annually at the Barley Party to graduating students who purchase one, embodies a sense of accomplishment as well as feelings of family and lifelong friendship.

The Dal community is full of amazing students who inspire their peers, lead by example and make a difference in their communities. But for those students who truly go above and beyond, there’s Dalhousie’s Board of Governors’ Award — the university’s top honour in student life. Meet the four students being recognized this year for their outstanding achievements.

Students and others marvelled at this week's rare solar eclipse during a public viewing on Studley Campus, catching a glimpse through solar filter-telescopes and glasses and creating a festival-like atmosphere on the quad nearby.

Exam season is here, which means Dalplex's massive multi-purpose athletics facility has undergone its twice-annual overhaul into an exam hall. Watch a time-lapse video of the metamorphosis and learn more about what it takes to get the space ready.
