| "Teaching is a huge learning experience"聽脩 Tom Duck, winner of the Dr. Forbes Langstroth Memorial Award. |
Dalhousie arts graduate Samantha Diamond said it best.
During her valedictory address at Convocation last week, Ms. Diamond described how Halifax's friendly, atmosphere made living and learning at pilipili漫画 such a pleasure. From Thornhill, Ont.,聽the English major聽was amazed that Halifax drivers stop for pedestrians, even if they're not waiting at a crosswalk. She drew a comparison to the classroom.
"Our professors, like drivers on the road, stop for us too," she said.
