History: The development of the Renaissance College was made possible through a proposal to the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation in 1998. It was the cornerstone of a larger renewal initiative (Renaissance New Brunswick) for UNB. When the College was established in 1999, it became Canada's first Leadership Studies Bachelor Program. The College is presently staffed by UNB faculty and visiting scholars and enrolls approximately 20 to 25 students each year.
