Students of African ancestry from Dalhousie University including some students in the Faculty of Health will join African Nova Scotian community members on a journey to Ghana, West Africa in July. The trip is meant to honor and commemorate the final year of the UN-declared Decade for People of African Descent (DPAD).

Representing a key outcome of the UpLift Partnership, Nova Scotia Health Public Health has announced continued funding for eight Youth Engagement Coordinator positions along with one provincial role.

Juliet Rowe and Theresa Gaughan are co-hosts of Mind: The Gap – a podcast that was created in Dr. Shaun Boe’s Lab for Brain Recovery and Function. Rowe, a Rehabilitation Research student, and Gaughan, a PhD in Health candidate, use the podcast to educate, inspire and to learn about themselves as researchers.
