In 1900 the institution was purchased by Dr. H.J. Pearce and renamed Brenau, a linguistic blend formed from the German "brennen," meaning "to burn," and the Latin word "aurum," meaning "gold." Thus, Brenau means burned or refined gold and is symbolic of the institution's motto, "as gold refined by fire." Brenau College became Brenau University in the fall of 1992 by vote of the Board of Trustees, a name change that reflects the comprehensive programs of study, the diverse student body, the graduate programs, and the regionally acclaimed faculty. Brenau's 54-acre main campus is located in Gainesville, Georgia, approximately 50 miles northeast of Atlanta, at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Brenau University maintains evening and weekend satellite programs at four other Georgia locations: Atlanta, Augusta, King's Bay, and Waleska. The institution is led by Dr. John S. Burd, its seventh president, who has held the position since November 1985.
