Regular testing is an important part of stopping the spread of COVID-19 and keeping one another safe, which is why Dalhousie has launched its own on-campus testing clinic 鈥� one of the many layers of protection in the university's safety plan.

Dal President Deep Saini and Provost Frank Harvey unveiled the university's new strategic plan during a virtual launch event, offering faculty and staff their first full look at a document that lays out the university鈥檚 long-term ambition while providing a clear, actionable strategy for the next five years.

The Government of Canada announced its newest cohort of Canada Research Chairs this week, a group that includes five scholars from Dal.

New federal funding for Imhotep's Legacy Academy, a university-community partnership that encourages participation in STEM professions by African Nova Scotia youth, will allow the group to continue offering hands-on after-school science activities 鈥� and extend those programs to Francophone students as well.

Dal鈥檚 Michael Freund is the recipient of $1.6M in funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council through its Collaborative Research and Training Experience program for the Leaders in Energy Sustainability training program for emerging professionals.
