DSU Toy Drive

The Dalhousie Student Union is proud to announce that we are hosting a Toy Drive to assist in making the holidays happier for children in need and we are looking for your support to make the event a success. All toys collected for the event will be donated to the IWK Children’s Hospital.

The Dalhousie Student Union recognizes that Dalhousie University is part of the larger Halifax community and is striving to support the community during the holiday season.

A full list of requested toy donations will be posted on Saturday on the Dalhousie Student Union website – www.dsu.ca

And more information can be found at our facebook event

All toys can be dropped off to the Student Union Building Information Desk during building hours starting on December 1^st and the end date will be on December 14^th.  Also if you are unable to drop your toy donation off at the Student Union Building we can arrange to have them picked up.

With your support we can make the holiday season merrier for children in Halifax!

Student Events

The DSU Executive love going to events being put on by students, societies, and groups on campus. So let us know when you event is and we will do out best to be there!

This week I attended the Dalhousie/Kings Conservatives guest speaker event, the residence's trip to the Mooseheads game, and tonight I am attending the Shirreff Hall winter banquet.

Thank you to all of the students and societies that have invited myself and other executives to your events in the past and we look forward to being apart of your future events as well!

Wireless on Campus

At the Senate meeting on Monday November 24th it was announced that the University understands that the wireless on campus needs to be improved and it would cost approximately $2 million to upgrade it and an additional $200,000 to maintain the wireless internet each year. This project will be going forward if there is room in the University budget.

Movember Nearing an End

One of the most memorable months of the year is always November.

Movember is a charity fundraiser for prostate cancer and it is through growing moustaches that people work to obtain pledges for the cause.

On Sunday the month of November will come to an end and so will all of the gentlemen around campus with their creatively styled moustaches. 

And although it is typically men that grow their facial hair for this memorable charity, women are also getting involved by making fake moustaches to be able to take part as well.

So no matter what your gender is remember to keep sporting your moustaches until Sunday and make sure to get lots of pledges!
