Thank you for reading DAL Magazine! For the past 40 years, our team has worked to keep you connected to Dalhousie. It’s an absolute pleasure to share your stories and to help spread the word about the transformative work Dal’s alumni, faculty, staff, and students do each day to make the world a better place. We’ve been grateful to have readers like you join us on that journey.
As you’ve surely noticed, the media landscape has been shifting dramatically over the past years. In some ways, that shift has been positive. Technology enables us to tell stories in rich ways that extend beyond the page—using video, audio, or other forms of online journalism—and to share them with the world via social media and other digital channels. The more challenging shift we’ve seen is the steady increase to the costs associated with printing and mailing a magazine to your door.
Together, these two factors have brought us to the difficult but exciting decision to relaunch DAL Magazine as a digital-only publication. This means that this issue, Fall/Winter 2024, will be the last to be delivered online and in print.
Beginning in 2025, DAL Magazine will arrive at your electronic doorstep—your inbox. We plan to continue delivering the inspiring stories you’ve come to expect several times a year, keeping you up-to-date and informed on all things Dal in a more environmentally friendly and fiscally sustainable way. We also aim to take advantage of the potential to tell stories in new ways a fully digital incarnation affords us.
You’re not going to want to miss what we’ve got in store.
We invite alumni to update your email address with us by visiting this link.
We can’t wait for you to join us on this new journey with DAL Magazine!
Sincerely,
AnnMarie MacKinnon
Editorial Manager, DAL Magazine
