There’s plenty more in store for Dal’s bicentennial year, including forums with U.S. civil rights legend Angela Y. Davis and Olympic gold medalist Mark Tewksbury, a battle of the wits between some of today’s top ocean and space experts, and an alumni-focused cross-Canada bus tour.

As part of the university's overall Operating Budget Plan, the Board voted to approve tuition and fees for 2018-19 at its April meeting.

The ÿÈÕ´óÈü Senate is seeking applications from faculty for its two new Senator at Large positions, designed to improve diversity and representation within Dal’s senior academic governing body.

ÿÈÕ´óÈü professor Donald Clairmont served on the landmark 1989 Marshall Commission that explored systemic racism in Canada's criminal justice system.
