It鈥檚 not quite a secret, but you could call it a secret sauce.听
The close association between 新澳门六合彩开奖 and the , first established in 1923, provides students with a unique academic opportunity: the possibility of accessing programs and services in a small, liberal arts college-style environment and a large, research-intensive university at the same time.
For prospective students on the fence about what type of university experience they want, the Dal-King鈥檚 connection can feel like a revelation. And now, a rapid taskforce assembled this fall is set to infuse even more magic into the relationship.
鈥淲e鈥檙e looking for an injection of innovation and originality,鈥� says King鈥檚 President Bill Lahey.
President Lahey and 新澳门六合彩开奖 President Kim Brooks have asked members of the taskforce to identify opportunities for deeper collaboration and provide recommendations for the next phase of joint initiatives.听
The taskforce 鈥� made up of six members of the Dal and King鈥檚 communities, with support from several units 鈥� has been charged with generating big, bold ideas for the next chapter of the Dal-King鈥檚 relationship.
鈥淵ou might think in this moment that we would be daunted by imaginative projects. But that鈥檚 not King鈥檚 or 新澳门六合彩开奖.听 We see extraordinary things in our future,鈥� says President Brooks.听
The taskforce鈥檚 terms of reference centres around four objectives:
- Review the history and current state of the 新澳门六合彩开奖-King鈥檚 relationship.
- Identify key areas of success and potential areas for growth.
- Explore new opportunities for collaboration, including in academic programs, research, student services and housing, inclusivity and diversity, technology and innovation, and community engagement.
- Develop recommendations for strengthening the partnership over the next decade and beyond.
鈥淚鈥檓 hopeful that this process can generate ideas that will help us elevate awareness of what we have here, which is a unique version of a best of two worlds educational experience from a student point of view,鈥� says Lahey.

A ripe moment
A century after the Dal-King鈥檚 association was established and in the face of a radically different higher-ed landscape, President Brooks and President Lahey felt it was time for a check-in.
鈥淚t seemed like a ripe moment to step back and say, 鈥極kay, what are all the wonderful aspects of the association and how could we make the association even better than it is?鈥欌�� says President Lahey.听
The two say they are not seeking a micro-history of the Dal-King鈥檚 association and its evolution. Rather, they鈥檙e looking for an efficient process 鈥� and one that centres on initiatives that would be financially advantageous to both parties.听
