The main administration building at Université Sainte-Anne in Church Point Nova Scotia, was designed by William Critchlow Harris and erected in 1889.
It was founded on September 1, 1890 by Gustave Blanche, a Eudist Father, to facilitate the higher education of Acadians in Nova Scotia. The University was named after Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary.[3]
In 2003, the provincial government merged the university with Collège de l'Acadie, a French-language community college with campuses throughout Nova Scotia.[4]
Its enrolment for the 2005-2006 academic year was around 650-700 students,[citation needed] while in 2018, it had 390 full-time undergraduate students, 120 part-time undergrads, and 30 graduate students.[5]
From 3 March 2022 to 20 April 2022, the 39-member faculty union went on strike. At 49 days, it was one of the longest university strikes in Canadian history.
Beginning in September 2023, a student-led anti-rape culture campaign, SA Change Now, posted anonymous accounts of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape at the university. The campaign is requesting an on-site counsellor and a sexual-assaults complaints officer, and calling for an overhaul of the university's sexual-assault policy and sexual-assaults hearing process.[6]

Sainte-Anne is known for its French Immersion programs. Programs take place year round including winter, spring and summer intersessions. The program is very strict about using immersion to learn the French language. If a student is caught speaking in any language other than French three times, the student is asked to leave the program, without a refund. Cultural activities and workshops are designed to allow for French to become second nature, even at a beginner level.
Notable alumniEdit
