Schulich School of Law

Halifax West Member of Parliament and Dal alum Lena Metledge Diab (MPA’87, LLB’90) sponsored a bill establishing November as Lebanese Heritage Month.

Each year, the Bertha Wilson Honour Society recognizes Schulich Law’s extraordinary alumni and showcases their geographic reach and contributions to law and society. Meet the 2023 inductees.

Canada’s newest Order of Canada inductees were named in late June, honouring individuals whose innovations have ignited imaginations, and whose compassion has united communities. Joining the ranks of the now 7,800 Order recipients are seven of Dalhousie’s alumni.

Dal Alumni Days 2023 was an incredible celebration of our shared connection to Dalhousie. Read about the highlights and see photos from this year’s events, which ranged from trivia night and the mentorship mixer to faculty events and a celebration of our alumni award winners.

This year’s Open Dialogue Live series zeroed in on Dal’s research strengths — from food security and clean energy, to ocean research, health outcomes and innovation and entrepreneurship — answering the question, ‘How can we use these strengths to help solve today’s greatest challenges?’

Seven individuals appointed to the Order of Canada in late December have Dalhousie connections.

As 2022 ends, we take a moment to celebrate the many accomplishments of Dal alumni this year.

Lezlie Oler (LLB’75) is the owner of In A Box Gifts, a giftware and clothing boutique that specializes in providing customers with a selection of beautiful, unique and fashionable items. Dal alumni get 15% off all regular-priced merchandise as part of the Dal Alumni Benefits Program.

Resounding: a celebration of the arts, the signature event of Alumni Days 2022, ushers in a new era for the Dalhousie Arts Centre. It’s a grand re-opening for the performing arts in Atlantic Canada, and time to celebrate with live performances by artists including Kiefer Sutherland, Jeremy Dutcher (BA’12) and Hillsburn.

Growing up in Halifax’s North End, Jalana Lewis (JD’13) was always aware of Dalhousie University. But she was not sure if the university was aware of her, and her community, as an African Nova Scotian.
