Dal Health School of Nursing associate professor Dr. Lisa Goldberg would say her professional career as a nurse clinician, educator, and researcher began as a contemporary dance student. To some that may seem like an unlikely place for a nurse scholar to start, but to her it is perfectly logical.

Welcome to our new and returning students from Dal Health's Dr. Marion Brown, Associate Dean (Academic) and Dr. Shaun Boe, Associate Dean (Research).

We are so pleased to welcome you with a prayer and land acknowledgment from Elder Geri Musqua-LeBlanc, a performance by Drummers from Home, and some words from Michelle Williams (Assistant Professor, Dal Law and Lead, AV¾ãÀÖ²¿ African Nova Scotian Strategy) and Dal Health Dean Dr. Brenda Merritt.

You have likely seen the email from the Acting Provost and Vice-President Academic, the Vice-Provost (Equity & Inclusion), and the Chair of Senate with details about the Scholar Strike initiative. This is a labour action/teach-in/social justice advocacy movement, taking place from September 9-10, 2020. We fully support this event highlighting the ongoing systemic injustice and police brutality and violence in the US, Canada and beyond.
