The Dal community is full of amazing students who inspire their peers, lead by example and make a difference in their communities. But for those students who truly go above and beyond, there’s Dalhousie’s Board of Governors’ Award — the university’s top honour in student life. Meet the four students being recognized this year for their outstanding achievements.

Dr. Harold Robertson has spent his career at Dalhousie trying to improve the treatment of neurological disorders. Now, as someone who lives with Parkinson's Disease, his family has established an award for graduate students focusing their research on the disease.

PhD student Reynaldo Popoli earned first place for his presentation on improving quality of life for patients living with ALS, a debilitating neurological disorder. Learn more about his work and a round up of other highlights from last week's 3MT final.
