Pronouns: she/her
Hello, my name is Sinmi. I graduated from Dal in 2022 with BSc in Medical Sciences and now I am a second-year medical student at Dal.
During my undergraduate degree, I worked in residence life for three years and gained a lot of experience relating to student life, student mentorship and helping students navigate their way on campus. These experiences played a crucial role in helping me become a part of the Don Team at the University of King’s College.
I am so excited to be a Don again this year because it was such a great rewarding experience last year to connect with students and support students through campus life exploration and navigation.
Dons are either upper-year King’s students or young professionals who live within a residence floor or bay and provide support to residents in their community.

Dons are the first line of support for individuals living in residence. Residents are encouraged to reach out to their Don for initial support with any issues or concerns (residence-related or personal).
Dons do have their own commitments outside of King’s. Some are in their undergrad or working through a graduate degree; others have full-time jobs off campus. Dons will communicate their availability and contact information to their community members during the first community gathering meeting on Welcome Day.
There is a Don on Call available for urgent/immediate support each evening, weekend and holiday.
The Don on Call (4 p.m.–8 a.m. Mon–Fri & 24/7 on weekends and holidays) can assist with:
