Dear New England College community,

As the holiday season arrives and lights begin to glow across campus, I want to extend my warmest wishes to each of you. This time of year invites reflection and gratitude, and I am reminded daily of how fortunate we are to share in a community defined by care, connection, and purpose.

Our faculty and staff give their energy and talent to support every student’s journey. Our students bring curiosity, resilience, and a drive to learn that inspires all of us. And our alumni and friends continue to strengthen NEC through their steady encouragement and generosity. Together, you make this College a place where people matter.

As you move into the weeks ahead, whether celebrating with loved ones, taking a well-earned break, or simply enjoying a quiet moment of rest, I hope you find joy, peace, and a renewed sense of possibility.

May your holidays be bright, your Christmas merry, and your New Year filled with hope and momentum.

Thank you for all you bring to New England College. I look forward to what we will build together in the year ahead.

With warm holiday wishes,

Dr. Wayne F. Lesperance, Jr.
President
New England College

Your Future Starts at NEC
