Niagara College was featured in Academic Group’s Academica Top Ten daily e-newsletter on November 24.

The publication shared news about the renaming of the student commons at the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake to the ‘Rankin Family Student Commons.’ The space dedication honours the Rankin family, who donated $540,000 towards NC’s Dan Patterson Legacy Campaign to support student bursaries through the creation of a permanent endowed fund.

The coverage also includes a comment from NC President Sean Kennedy who notes, “Niagara College has enjoyed a close friendship with the Rankin family and Rankin Construction for many years, built on our shared desire to support students and ensure that they succeed in their educational goals. It’s very fitting that our student commons, a space central to student life and the heart of our Daniel J Patterson Campus, will bear the family’s name.”
