A new È«¹ú̽»¨ study abroad program will offer African Nova Scotian students at Dal exposure to countries, cities, and colleges with predominantly Black populations.

Dr. Eva Mroczek, Dal’s inaugural Simon and Riva Spatz Chair, hopes to build a Jewish Studies program for the 21st century — and will give the university community a glimpse into her approach at a lecture next week.

Year of the Rabbit celebrations kick off this weekend, with several student-led events planned on campus to create shared cultural experiences for many.

Dal alumni helped the university share a bit of bright, festive fun with international students earlier this month during the dark of winter by contributing funds to cover costs for a special dinner event.

Dal-trained family physician Dr. Leah Jones hopes to create a supportive, welcoming environment for Black students to work and learn.
