Message from the Lead Patron
Dr. Daniel andreae ’72
I am elated and honoured to be the Lead Patron for NJC’s 60th Anniversary Gala. My year at Neuchâtel Junior College exposed me to a new culture, language and new ways of life and made me a citizen of the world. For all that NJC has given to me, I will be forever grateful. It is my hope that more young people now and down the road will be able to take advantage of such an amazing, broadening opportunity that has a lifetime of benefits. For me, the most important thing is the personal connection with the organization that I’m working with and this is certainly the case with Neuchâtel Junior College. Giving back to an institution that transformed my life is of utmost importance to me, and I hope you too will consider giving back in any way possible in order to help our extraordinary school continue to build and grow.
