On November 22, Inniagara reported that NC has renamed the student commons at the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake to the ‘Rankin Family Student Commons’ in honour of the Rankin family’s $540,000 donation to the Dan Patterson Legacy Campaign.
The family’s generous donation established the Rankin Construction-Dan Patterson Legacy Bursary at the College – a permanent endowed fund that will provide annual bursaries to NC students in programs related to the construction and healthcare industries.
The article includes a comment from Tom Rankin, who notes, “We are delighted to contribute to a fund that honours the remarkable legacy of Dan Patterson and supports students financially at Niagara College. We strongly believe it is important to give back to the community in which we do business, and we are proud to provide support that enables greater access to education for students now and well into the future, supporting the next generation of industry professionals along their path to success.”
