Dalhousie Black Law Students' Association (DBLSA)

DBLSA serves as a vital nexus within the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University and the African Canadian/Nova Scotian community, actively fostering relationships, empowering our members, and inspiring future generations to pursue a legal education. With a focus on amplifying the voices and opportunities of African Canadian students, we are deeply committed to bridging the cultural and informational divide between the legal sphere and the African Nova Scotian community.

Each year, our philanthropic initiatives come to life through an annual Christmas fundraiser, where we work diligently to provide holiday gifts to the children of incarcerated parents. This effort not only brings a spark of joy to these young lives but also fortifies the connective tissue within our communities. Furthermore, our organization commemorates Black History Month with a dynamic speaker series hosted within the law school. This event features influential thought leaders in the legal field who provide invaluable insights and engage in critical discussions that enrich our understanding of law through the lens of African Canadian history and experiences.

Through these initiatives and more, our organization plays an instrumental role in cultivating a sense of community and collegiality among our members while making meaningful contributions to the African Nova Scotian community.

Dalhousie Marine Conservation Society (DMC)

The Dalhousie Marine Conservation Society (DMC) aims to cultivate the interest of marine conservation science in undergraduate students, primarily targeting students in marine biology, biology, environmental science, sustainability and related majors. Marine science is multi-sectoral, and conservation is increasingly important as the effects of climate change and the overexploitation of marine animals and ecosystems are gaining prominence. DMC plans to introduce and engage students in this marine science sector while raising awareness of the broad range of opportunities in this field, including research, statistics, NGOs, and fieldwork.

Dalhousie Global Brigades - Public Health Chapter

Global Public Health Brigades is an international movement of university students working to improve health conditions in the developing world.

A team of student volunteers depart on a week-long trip to work with a community in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua or Ghana. Through an evidence-based model, we work alongside local community members to build projects that tangibly improve lives in these developing countries. Volunteers work with local masons and families to build eco-stoves, latrines, concrete floors, showers, and/or water storage units. Global Brigades also supports communities with healthcare, economic development and clean water projects and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals.

This year our trip is to Panama! happening from April 28th to May 5th after final exams. Every student is welcome to join! To learn more, please visit www.globalbrigades.org.

WUSC - Dalhousie/King's Local Committee

We sponsor the education and resettlement of refugee students at Dalhousie University. As a part of WUSC's Student Refugee Program, our local campus committee contributes towards creating access to education for displaced youth from conflict-torn areas of the world.

Our student members provide social, academic, financial, health and wellbeing support to the sponsored newcomer students and seek to raise awareness about refugee resettlement. We also host events, activities, and outings -- ranging from pumpkin carving to skating to winter clothing shopping -- to welcome these students to Canada and to Dalhousie.

Join us if you're interested in making your campus a more welcoming place while also contributing to global development as a whole. All are welcome!

Dalhousie Model United Nations

DalMUN is a society focused on simulating United Nations discussions. Delegates will be given country assignments to represent their stance on diverse topics, debating amongst others at continent-wide conferences. The essence of DalMUN is to foster a competitive and supportive environment. This environment will give individuals the chance to foster their leadership and public speaking skills, and also make new friends.

The primary goal of DalMUN is to create an opportunity for individuals to travel, practice their diplomacy, and be a part of a community. Our vision for DalMUN is to create a solid society that lasts beyond 2023-2024. Competitive MUN teams across the continent are able to engage in high quality debate at conferences throughout the year, and gain recognition through awards which they casocn put onto their CV. We hope to create opportunities like this for current and future Dalhousie students.
