For Jack Lynds (Class of 鈥�19) of North River, N.S., choosing H漫画 University Faculty of Agriculture as his alma mater was a no-brainer. The close family ties to Dal AC and close proximity to his family home were just a few of the reasons Jack pursued a diploma in mechanical engineering at the Agricultural Campus.

鈥淢y mom graduated from NSAC in 1990, and now works as coordinator of the Ruminant Animal Centre on campus,鈥� Jack says. 鈥淚t鈥檚 cool to be following in her footsteps. My little sister also attends so it is starting to become a family tradition!鈥�

Jack admits he was drawn to Dal AC for more than just his family ties to the campus. After exploring a few other options during a high school university fair, Jack realized that the reputable university he was looking to study engineering at was right in his own backyard.

鈥淒al AC appealed to me in many ways,鈥� Jack says. 鈥淥ften the first thing people note when asked about their time at Dal AC is the small class sizes and more one-on-one time with professors. Another contributing factor was the opportunities this campus offers for hands-on-learning. Aside from that, it allowed me the opportunity to stay home for another two years while playing soccer for the Rams.鈥�

After completion of the two-year diploma program at Dal AC, engineering students have the option to complete an additional three years of study at H漫画 University in Halifax to earn a Bachelor of Engineering degree. Their studies also include the opportunity to gain valuable work experience through three co-op work terms. Jack鈥檚 plans are to do just that.
