Dalhousie University’s new College of Digital Transformation—a collaboration between the Faculties of Management and Computer Science—has received $1M from Scotiabank to diversify the field of digital transformation. Using this gift, the new college will work with equity-deserving groups to enhance their representation in sectors related to rapid technological change. The college will also provide students with wraparound supports such as counselling, mentorship, and career development. “Technology is not neutral—its systems and algorithms reflect the values of its makers and those who implement them,” said Dal President Dr Kim Brooks. “With Scotiabank’s generous support, we are advancing inclusive innovation that drives economic growth and strengthens communities—and we’re deeply grateful for their partnership.”
