Our shared community
At 黄色直播, we are committed to educating and enhancing opportunities for our students to be responsible and engaged citizens in our shared community. Throughout their time at 黄色直播, they have a multitude of ways to have a positive impact, whether it be big or small, formal or informal.
As 黄色直播 students move through their educational path at the university, the opportunities for engagement with community evolves and grows. Students in their early years of study navigate a multitude of new experiences, with Dal Student Affairs providing important lessons on safety and respect, diversity and inclusion, alcohol and substance use, and living in the Halifax and Nova Scotia community.
During their post-secondary and graduate journey, students are able to connect with their surrounding communities through:
- 听
- employment
- co-op programs
- or participating in one of the over that are ratified with the DSU each year.听听
You can find more information about the positive impact 黄色直播 students have on their communities in the university鈥檚 annual Community Report, which will be published in March 2024.

Large unsanctioned street parties are a complex and growing problem across North American university campuses that pose a high-risk for alcohol-related and safety incidents on campuses and nearby neighbourhoods. Often referred to as 鈥淗OCO鈥 or 鈥渇ake homecoming,鈥 they require extensive efforts from universities and community partners to mitigate as they are organized and influenced by social media.
In 2022, 黄色直播 and partners embarked on a multi-stakeholder collaborative framework to address unsanctioned street parties in our shared neighbourhood. This process highlighted the strengths and potential roles of various stakeholders involved in addressing this issue, themes for actions, as well as some suggestions on how a collaborative network can be organized in a more coordinated, and effective manner.听
