Dalhousie Association of Graduate Students in Psychology (DAGSiP)
Though the role of the society for some time has been organizing and assigning students to department committees and advocating to the faculty, we are hoping to expand the scope of DAGSiP. Specifically, our first goal is to promote more social connection between graduate students in the Psychology and Neuroscience department.
Though the role of the society for some time has been organizing and assigning students to department committees and advocating to the faculty, we are hoping to expand the scope of DAGSiP. Specifically, our first goal is to promote more social connection between graduate students in the Psychology and Neuroscience department.
As we all know, being in grad school can be very isolating, and we are hoping to foster connection between graduate students by creating more on- and off-campus social events. We aim to represent students in the Clinical, Neuroscience, and Experimental Psychology programs and hope to foster a sense of community within the department.
We also aim to increase graduate student involvement more generally, both within and outside of DAGSiP, by hosting regular (e.g., bimonthly) meetings, reserving space on campus for planned and informal activities, and other initiatives based on student interest and feedback (e.g., organizing intramural sports teams).
Finally, we hope to make student life as enjoyable and stress-free as possible by building a resource hub, making academic information (e.g., upcoming talks, scholarship deadlines) readily and easily accessible, and fostering supportive relationships between newer students and upper-year students in the program.

Black and Gold Dance Team
The Black and Gold Dance Team is a competitive dance team at Dalhousie University, who competes amongst other University teams around the Maritimes. Each September, auditions are held for full-time Dal students after which a group of experienced dancers are chosen to be a part of the team. We provide quality dance instruction, in the styles of Contemporary, Jazz, Hip-hop, Tap, Lyrical, and Acro, that is accessible and inexpensive for all. The Black and Gold Dance Team provides dancers with the opportunity to continue dancing, performing, and competing through University, in a fun and supportive environment.
The BGDT is Dalhousie's competitive dance team! We allow full-time Dal students of any age, program, and year of study to continue their passion for dance during their university career. We offer a variety of dance styles, including Jazz, Hip-Hop, Contemporary, Lyrical, Tap, Acro, and more! This variety brings students from all different dance backgrounds together to create a welcoming, encouraging and communal experience to continue their dance journey beyond high-school. Our team has been growing rapidly over the last few years, with around 20 team members in 2021 and now 40 in our 2023/24 season! We are proud to finally be making a name for ourselves here at Dal, and we hope to grow our team even more in the future.
Each year, we rehearse weekly in preparation for our 3 competitions which occur between February and April. This includes rehearsals for any group or solo/duet/trio routines, as well as team trainings and technique classes. We attend 1 away-competition in Fredericton hosted by the UNB Reds where all Maritime University dance teams compete, as well as 2 home-competitions in Halifax. Dancers audition for the team in early September, with almost 100 students total at our auditions last year! We also host team bonding events, fundraisers, participate in halftime performances, and an annual showcase where friends and families can come and see the hard work we have put in.
Dancers often lose opportunity to keep dancing after high-school if they are not pursuing it professionally - which is why it is so important for teams like ours to exist! The BGDT is an incredible way to bond with other students.
Many of our team members meet their best friends, and often roommates, on the team. Overall, our team cherishes the opportunity to pursue dance as university students, and we cannot wait to continue growing!
Note: The BGDT will be launching our new website June 1st, which will have even more information about the specifics of our society and more information for anyone wanting to join.
