Ann LaBillois long dreamed of going to university. When she finally did so at Dal after entering retirement, it opened new avenues for learning and an opportunity to share her wisdom and life experiences as Dalhousie’s Elder-in-Residence.

A total of 4,155 graduates were recognized during 19 ceremonies last month. We were there to capture some of the many special moments.

Basmah Hendy, a third-year Neuroscience student, has received one of Canada's top student honours for her impressive efforts to make learning more accessible — whether that's starting her own high school mentorship program or helping develop visual-assistance tools for a fellow student.
