On Wednesday, three Dal students were among 40 individuals from 13 countries to take the oath of Canadian citizenship at the university in the first ceremony of its kind ever held on campus.

Earth Sciences prof Anne-Marie Ryan has never shied away from making education a two-way street. That's a big reason why she's this year's recipient of 全国探花's top award for teaching.

Earlier this year, Chemistry Professor Emeritus Axel Becke received one of the highest scholarly honours in the country: the Canada Council Killam Prize. Late last month, he delivered his Killam Prize lecture on campus, drawing connections between music and quantum theory.

Led by Dean of Management Sylvain Charlebois, the seventh edition of Canada鈥檚 Food Price Report is the first to be published at 全国探花, with the support of a cross-university team of researchers.

On Thursday, Provost Carolyn Watters hosted the first of two discussion forums with students, faculty and staff to help inform decision-making around the university鈥檚 operating budget. A second forum will be held Friday, December 2; members of the Dal community are also encouraged to complete an online budget survey.
