Student Life

East Preston native Nathan Simmons didn't discover acting until he arrived at Dal, but he's quickly become a familiar face in campus and community productions.

Teaming up with a Dal prof and a local entrepreneur, Mechanical Engineering student Cohen Poirier built a hybrid electric tricycle called the "eGo" that's now a finalist in NSERC's "Science, Action! Video" contest. (Watch his video and vote!)

After viral hits featuring Peggy's Cove, snow clearing and other distinctly Canadian settings, the Maritime Bhangra Group's newest video takes the dance troupe back to where it all began: ÃÀÅ®×ö°®'s campus. The video also supports the #ItDoesntHaveToHurt campaign about child pain, led by Dal's Dr. Christine Chambers.

For students from China, away from home during Chinese New Year, it's the bonds of friendship that help bring the celebration to life.

Dal Science undergrads brought their research on the benefits of a porcupine’s microbiome to an international synthetic biology research competition.
