The introduction of Eulythis mellinata in Nova Scotia was almost certainly recent as the specimen was collected in an area which has been intensively collected for the last 30 years, yet this is the only specimen which has been taken to date. The occur­ rence of the moth in two widely separated localities in eastern Canada indicates well­ established populations, and its occurrence in other eastern North American localities should therefore be expected.

This is a guide to using the resources at NSCAD, Dalhousie university and the surrounding Halifax area to best manage your mental illness, support your overall mental health, or find help if you find yourself feeling mentally unwell and have to figure out what to do about it. I am a fourth year NSCAD student who has done fairly well academically and socially at the same time as having a mental illness. You can, too! You are not alone! It is estimated that one in five Canadians will have a mental illness at some point in their lives, and that it affects 10-20% of youth. There are a bunch of us at NSCAD that have had or have a mental illness. Even though a lot of people prefer to go incognito about such things, due to ridiculous stigma.

  • FINAL REPORT ENABLING DIVESTMENT from FOSSIL FUELS: Characterizing Divestment Awareness and Support at Dalhousie University
    FINAL REPORT ENABLING DIVESTMENT FROM FOSSIL FUELS: Characterizing Divestment Awareness and Support at Dalhousie University (Weiskel, 2015) Winter 2017 Emily Bibeau, Rachel Bridgehouse, Kiley Burke, Coleman Kettenbach, Lorenz Magaard-Romano, Nicole Slattery EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A team of students at Dalhousie University has come together to develop a comprehensive research report on the state of divestment from fossil fuels at their University. Divestment campaigns have recently become popular across Canadian universities. More specifically, student led divestment advocacy groups are gaining traction in the public eye. Developing advocacy groups is a tool used by young people to voice their concerns and take steps towards combating climate change. Divest Dal is Dalhousie University’s student led group that pushes for the University to divest its holdings from the fossil fuel industry. In November of 2014, Dalhousie University announced that they would not be divesting from fossil fuels, even after copious efforts from Divest Dal to sway the decision (Dalhousie, n.d.). This team was curious to explore the reasoning behind this decision and what could be done differently. Based off of these inquiries, our team of students decided to explore the state of awareness at Dalhousie University amongst the student body. To find the answer, a non-probabilistic research style was used as well as questionnaire analysis. The study required both the major and year of study of each participant with their consent. This research was carried out by surveying participants in student buildings across Dalhousie’s Studley campus. Our study found that the majority of the sampled student body was unaware of the Divest Dal movement.

  • Steps for Persons with Disabilities Who Are Interested in Pursuing Post- Secondary Education
    Steps for Persons with Disabilities who are Interested in Pursuing Post- Secondary Education 1) It is important for persons with disabilities to begin planning their Post-Secondary path well before graduating high school. Prospective students should visit the campuses they are interested in attending, especially their disability support centres. This will help the student identify the supports and accommodations that they will need and which campuses can best provide them. It is also a good idea for prospective students to assess whether a full time or part time class schedule would be most conducive to their success. 2) Once the student is accepted to his/her chosen institution, it is imperative that they get connected with the Disability Resource facilitator (see page 2). This individual can assist with any grant applications and with finding any additional accommodations to ensure the student’s smooth transition to the post-secondary environment. 3) Apply for a Canada/Nova Scotia Student Loan and identify on the application that the student has disability. If it is the first time a student is applying for a student loan, it is necessary for him/her to provide proof of their disability. If the student needs assistance completing the application, they can contact the disability resource facility at their chosen campus. 4) If the student is accepted for even $1 of Student Assistance they can apply for the Canada Student Grant for Services and Equipment for Persons with Disabilities. This grant will provide the student with up to $8,000 to cover covers academic accommodations such as tutoring, note taking, adaptive software, attendant care, ASL interpreting services, etc.
