Korean music and films genre is rapidly growing, and spreading its popularity around the globe. We believe this would be an amazing opportunity to introduce more diversity to the campus and could possibly welcome some newcomers to our Dal community.
We have many entertaining activity ideas planned for students such as karaoke night, try Korean/East Asian cuisine, game night, movie night, DIY photo cards/banner/bracelets, and collaborative K-pop dance classes.
Our main goal is for this community to be where people can comfortably express themselves and their interests towards K-pop. The K-pop club would be an amazing opportunity for students to release stress from classes and daily tasks. Club members are also welcome to share their own backgrounds and cultures!

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.
