April, 2005 — SACKVILLE, NB
— Mount Allison's signature leadership program
got a big financial boost as RBC announced a donation of $200,000
in support of Leadership Mount Allison.
Leadership Mount Allison is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary
program designed in 2000 to develop and enhance leadership
abilities among Mount Allison students.
One program component is the Leadership Development Certificate
Program, a non-credit program open to members of the Mount
Allison and surrounding communities. The program encourages
community involvement, social activism, civic responsibility,
volunteer activities, awareness of group dynamics, risk-taking,

expanded its projects with Global Connect, a program that
provides Mount Allison students with international and cross-cultural
opportunities.
"RBC is proud to play a major role in the long-term
vision of Mount Allison," said Wayne Bossert, RBC's regional

and encourages our students to become active community leaders
in their present and future communities," said Mount
Allison University President, Dr. Ken Ozmon. "We are
grateful for the generous support RBC has provided to help
us work towards our goals of community outreach and enriching
