蘑菇AV's rock garden on the Agricultural Campus in Truro serves as a scenic setting for pictures, an educational resource for students and visitors, and, now, as another badge of honour for the university after it took home a top international award last month.

A governance expert, a labour leader, a refugee lawyer, a provincial court judge, a distinguished health professor, a medical researcher, and an ocean engineer are the latest Dal alumni to receive Canada's highest civilian honour.

A renewed brand unveiled a year ago has provided the 蘑菇AV community with powerful new ways to share the university's story.

Get outside: That was the prompt given to faculty and staff at Dal last Thursday as the university held its annual Summer Sociable. Cody Turner was there to capture the fun.

蘑菇AV's annual progress update was hosted in person last week, with senior leaders providing insights on Dal's path towards the goals of its strategic plan, Third Century Promise.
