±«Óãtv University and the University of King's College have partnered with the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia to host a groundbreaking meeting of the Universities Studying Slavery consortium this month — the first ever USS event to be held outside of the United States.

With baseball's playoffs getting underway, English prof Bart Vautour will be watching not only as a fan, but as the instructor behind Dal's new course offering on baseball and literature.

Residents, students and the ±«Óãtv community came together to bring a colourful street mural to life at the intersection of Larch and Jennings in Halifax designed by Mi’kmaw artist Tayla Fern Paul.

As Treaty Day approaches, "Treaty-Informed Teaching," a new course from Dal's Centre for Learning and Teaching, is set to offer faculty the opportunity to understand treaty perspectives as they relate to education and learning.

This weekend is an extremely important one here at ±«Óãtv and in Mi'kma'ki. With the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Orange Shirt Day, Treaty Day and the launch of Mi’kmaq History Month, is a time for honouring and learning from the past as we reflect on our commitments and responsibilities now and into the future.
