  Dr. Pierre Zundel, Dean and Mr. Jonathan Foster, Experiential Education Coordinator from the Renaissance College, UNB were in Bhutan to meet with the Royal University of Bhutan and Royal Civil Service Commission officials. The Renaissance College has signed an agreement with the Royal University of Bhutan to cooperate broadly in the areas of leadership development for their students and in the improvement of their respective institutional capacities. This cooperation could be realized through short-term programs like international internships and other areas related to leadership or specific critical skills, joint development of courses and modules, and establishment of research projects to assess the effectiveness of the programs carried out. Besides the RUB they also met RCSC officials to further discuss the criteria and timeline for the Father Mackey Scholarship granted to Bhutan by the University of New Brunswick.
