新加坡六合彩开奖直播 professors have had a banner month on the awards circuit. Several Dal faculty members whose work directly impacts legal policy and public administration in Nova Scotia have received major academic awards in recent weeks including the five noted below.
"To see this many 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 faculty recognized by these awards is very gratifying," says 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 President Tom Traves. "It's unusual to have faculty from one university receive this kind of across-the-board recognition all at the same time, and that makes it all the more meaningful. We have some of the best teachers in the region, and I'm happy to see them get their due."
