Honourary Doctorate to be presented at NSAC Convocation
Mr. Alfred Dale Ells, Class of 1959, will be awarded an Honourary Doctorate by NSAC during its 106th Convocation ceremony, Friday, May 6th, 2011.
NSAC’s honourary doctorate is designed to recognize extraordinary contributions to society or exceptional intellectual or community achievement. The awarding of honourary doctorates, an important feature of NSAC's convocation, serves to celebrate both the individual and the university as well as to inspire our graduates, their families and guests.
"I congratulate Mr. Ells on this achievement in recognition of his dedication to agriculture in Nova Scotia,” said John MacDonell, Minister of Agriculture. “In addition to his contributions to the agriculture industry, Mr. Ells has provided valuable input into the educational programs during his years at NSAC.” Read more here

New Department Head Engineering
I am pleased to welcome Dr. Ilhami Yildiz as the new Head of the Department of Engineering effective May 1, 2011. Dr. Yildiz joined NSAC in December, bringing expertise in controlled environment systems and bioenergy production to complement the department's existing strengths. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Peter Havard for his patient and thoughtful contributions as Head over the past four years. He has led through a time of great renewal in the department, including hiring several new faculty members and major revisions of both Engineering and Environmental Management curricula.
