In his 15 years at the helm, Dr. Colin Dodds was instrumental in making Saint Mary’s the local hero and international star that it is today. The university has grown in both physical size and reputation.

A tribute and dinner to celebrate the rich legacy of Dr. Dodds was held on Wednesday, April 29 at Cunard Centre in Halifax.
