A mural designed by Mi’kmaw artist Tayla Fern Paul will be painted at the intersection of Larch and Jennings streets near »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ this month — a project that brings together neighbours, students and the »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ community to promote mutual respect in the area.

A jam-packed roster of events, from an opening ceremony complete with cheer-off to a DJ party and movie night on the quad, offers the newest members of Dal’s student community a chance to get to know campus and each other.

On Sept. 1, 1923, the governors of »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ and King’s College signed articles of association, entwining the two institutions academically and culturally. Now, 100 years later, community leaders pause to reflect on their shared history and path forward.

Sarah Harding, a Dal law alum whose five-year term began Monday, is the seventeenth dean of the law school and the fourth woman to serve in the position.

ShanghaiRanking Consultancy’s annual assessment of the world’s top universities places Dal in the top 400 globally and the top 17 nationally.
