We're #1 (again)

For the fourth year in a row, Mount Allison has been named the top primarily undergraduate school in Canada by Maclean’s magazine in its annual University Rankings Issue.

Mount Allison has been ranked Canada’s No. 1 undergraduate university by Maclean’s a record 14 times in the past 20 years and has never placed lower than second.

Mount Allison ranked highly in many categories in the 2010 Maclean’s rankings including the national reputation survey. The University placed second in its category for “Best Overall” and first for “Highest Quality.”

The University believes that rankings and surveys such as those produced by Maclean’s and the Globe and Mail, provide helpful information that aids students and their families in their evaluation of universities.

Making a mark on the music world

In high school, Matt Brennan ('02) was encouraged to do what he felt most passionate about — and that was music — but he says he became starved for reading books and chose to study English and philosophy at Mount Allison.

His Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Edinburgh is entitled “Researching Live Music in the UK.” The project looks at the development of the live music industry in Britain since 1950, from which his team will be writing a three-volume history.

Along with his music scholarship, Matt is a member of a three-piece band called Zoey Van Goey. The band has signed to a Scottish label and put out its first album.
