The University of King’s College in Halifax, Nova Scotia is the oldest English-speaking Commonwealth university outside the United Kingdom. It’s committed to its traditions, like formal meals complete with bagpipes, or matriculation ceremonies. Some jokingly call it Hogwart’s. But like many colleges, it’s also had to deal with some big, contemporary challenges: racism and reconciliation, identity issues, and sexual violence awareness. This is King’s explores what it means to be a small liberal arts college in a time of evolving sensibilities.
