Community-Centered Campus Enhancements Made Possible by Alumni

The Anderson Learning and Resource Center: Through generous Alumni and community donations, our former library has been transformed into a community resource center. Now, it offers a quiet, welcoming space for all ages to enjoy a variety of programs, digital resources and collaborative spaces.
-
-
Expanded Community Athletic Facilities: Once bustling with student-athletes, Nasson’s athletic spaces have been revitalized to serve community members of all ages. Thanks to alumni, the renovated gymnasium now promotes health and wellness within the community, creating opportunities for fitness, recreation, and local sports events.

-
Revitalized Auditorium for Arts & Culture: Our historic auditorium, a long-time center of college life, has been restored with upgraded lighting, seating and sound systems. It’s now a vibrant venue for community theater, concerts, guest speakers, and special events, making it a cultural cornerstone for the area.
New Projects – Enhancing the Campus for Community Impact

Green Spaces for All: The alumni-funded Green Space Revitalization Project is underway to create peaceful outdoor areas around campus. These spaces will be open to the public, designed with walking paths, seating areas, and lush landscaping that invite relaxation and community gatherings.
Alumni Association Launches
Nasson Foundation for Enhanced Fundraising
The Nasson College Alumni Association is proud to announce the establishment of the Nasson Foundation, an affiliated entity designed to support the Development Committee’s fundraising efforts. The creation of the Nasson Foundation aims to strengthen the association’s financial capabilities and increase its capacity to fund various initiatives that benefit Nasson College alumni and the wider community.
As an affiliated entity, the Nasson Foundation will operate under the assumed name “Nasson Foundation” and will function as part of the Alumni Association. This new structure will allow the foundation to pursue more diverse fundraising opportunities, build stronger relationships with donors, and ultimately make a more significant impact on the causes it supports.
“The Nasson Foundation is an exciting new chapter for our association,” said James Leach, Chairman of the Development Committee. “This new entity will enable us to expand our reach and support even more initiatives that benefit our alumni and community. We look forward to seeing the positive impact the Nasson Foundation will have in the years to come.”
The Nasson Foundation will work closely with the Development Committee to identify priority projects and initiatives that require funding. Together, they will develop strategies to secure donations, grants, and other sources of financial support to meet these needs.
With the launch of the Nasson Foundation, the Nasson College Alumni Association is well-positioned to make an even greater difference in the lives of its alumni and the broader community.
