We exist because of support from our communities. In turn, Dalhousie has an ongoing responsibility to engage, connect with, and support our communities. We are committed to being a strategic partner in promoting the economic development and social vitality of Nova Scotia and the Atlantic provinces through our actions, including creating and fostering growth opportunities through impactful and collaborative research, scholarship, and partnerships.
Befitting a civic university, these obligations extend to fostering the capacity to overcome structural challenges by reducing disparities the region has endured within Canada. Dalhousie will play a critical role in that journey as a citizen of Nova Scotia with an ongoing responsibility to engage, connect with, and support the local communities not as an elite institution separate from the daily affairs of our public, but as a member of our public.
