Niagara College’s 2019 Spring Open House was held this past Saturday, March 23, and thanks to the passion and dedication of our faculty and staff, we once again hit it out of the park.

As a key part of our recruitment cycle, the event provides prospective students and their families with an up-close look at our campuses and unique programs, and the opportunity to meet our expert faculty and staff. That personal experience is key in helping prospective students choose Niagara College, and highlights to the wider Niagara community the important role we play in the economic and cultural life of our region.

I’d like to extend my sincere thanks to all the individuals who gave of their time and energy to create that uniquely personal experience on Saturday. On full display were not only our unique learning environments and experiential learning opportunities, but also the professionalism, expertise and love for learning that define the NC community. I had the opportunity to talk to a number of faculty and staff on both campuses, who were very engaged in conversations with prospective students and their family members. It was wonderful to see the passion and energy as they explained why students enjoy coming to Niagara College and what they experience in and out of the classroom.

Whether it’s through participating in our open houses, through conversations with family and friends, or contributions to our own professional networks and associations, thank you for all you do to help attract prospective students. As we all know, shifting demographics, particularly in Niagara, makes our efforts at recruitment even more important. I am confident that our collective efforts will make a direct impact on our success.

Once again, thank you for ongoing contributions to sharing the NC story, and congratulations on a job very well done.
