Dalhousie Judo Club
Judo was derived from Ju Jutsu in the late 1800’s as a way to develop the youth of Japan. Not only is Judo a physical activity and a sport, but its principles of “mutual welfare and benefit” and “maximum efficiency” can be applied to one’s life outside of the dojo.

Dalhousie Muslim Students' Association
The Dalhousie Muslim Students' Association (MSA) represents the Muslim students on the Dalhousie campus (Studley, sexton, and hopefully other campuses in the future). We provide a welcoming and supportive environment to Muslim students, or anyone interested in Islam. We address the concerns of Muslim students, provide a sense of belonging, and nurture unity within our community and with the overall student body.
The Dalhousie Muslim Student Association (DMSA) serves as a vital hub for Muslim students at Dalhousie University, fostering a sense of community, support, and engagement within the student body. At its core, DMSA aims to provide a platform where students can connect with one another, celebrate their cultural and religious identities, and address issues relevant to the Muslim community on campus. Through various events, discussions, and initiatives, DMSA creates opportunities for students to deepen their understanding of Islam, engage in meaningful dialogue, and promote interfaith harmony and understanding.
Members of DMSA are actively involved in organizing events such as Islamic awareness weeks, cultural celebrations, community service projects, and educational seminars. They also play a crucial role in supporting fellow students, offering mentorship, academic assistance, and a sense of belonging. By providing a space where students can express themselves freely and connect with like-minded individuals, DMSA contributes to the holistic well-being of Muslim students at Dalhousie University.
DMSA is important within the Dalhousie student community as it fosters inclusivity, diversity, and cultural exchange. It serves as a bridge between the university and the Muslim student population, advocating for their needs and interests while promoting understanding and cooperation among all members of the community. Additionally, DMSA's presence enriches the campus experience by showcasing the vibrant and multifaceted nature of the Muslim faith and its contributions to the broader university environment.

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.
