Communities on Campus
Supporting respectful and inclusive campuses at Dal
While our diverse and inclusive campuses are welcoming to everyone, you can also find resources and support services tailored to specific communities at Dal. We encourage you to reach out and get involved with different communities!
Black student advising
If you’re a student of African descent, Dal’s Black Student Advising Centre on the Halifax campus can provide you with academic support, confidential counselling, and advocacy and mediation services.
Clubs & societies
Whether you're an avid tea drinker or a recreational basketball player there is a club or society for you. For a full list in Halifax, visit Clubs & Societies. In Truro, visit Agricultural Campus Student Life.

There are a number of programs, services, training and support for the LGBTQ2SIA+ community, including the 2SLGBTQ+ Advisor and groups such as DalOUT and Student Health & Wellness.
Indigenous students
Our Indigenous student advisors (Halifax, Truro) help create a sense of belonging for Indigenous students at Dal. You'll find support, advocacy services, and educational, cultural and career resources.

Residence students
Living in residence, you are part of your residence community from day one. Residence Assistants (RAs) are always organizing great floor events so you can meet other students from all parts of the country and from around the world.
Spiritual communities
The Dalhousie Multifaith Services is a non-threatening space on the Halifax campus where students, staff, and faculty can address the basic questions of meaning and purpose in their lives — no matter what their faith, philosophy, or doubt may be.
