Niagara College will welcome more than 45 global recruitment partners representing over 35 countries as part of the 2026 Study in Niagara Familiarization (FAM) Tour, taking place April 26 to 29.
NC’s global recruitment partners assist prospective international students by helping them understand the Canadian education system and guiding them through the processes required to arrive and study in Canada. Their visits to Niagara College deepen their understanding of NC’s offerings and culture, equipping them to share meaningful, firsthand insights with their students.
Similar to NC’s Spring and Fall Open Houses, the annual FAM Tour offers participants an invaluable opportunity to discover why NC is a top choice for students from around the world.
“When recruitment partners experience our campuses, our people, and the Niagara Region firsthand, they return home as informed and confident ambassadors for Niagara College,” said Orel Ruiz, Director, Global Business Development & Global Campus Operations. “In a rapidly changing international education landscape, their role is critical in helping students make informed decisions, and we are pleased to welcome this year’s participants to experience the strength of NC’s applied, student-focused approach, which continues to position us among Canada’s leading global colleges.”
This immersive experience includes campus tours showcasing NC’s state-of-the-art facilities and innovative learning environments. It also fosters direct engagement with NC team members, strengthening relationships, and creating meaningful connections.
Attendees benefit from informative presentations by key departments across the College, including academic schools and student services. The FAM Tour also provides valuable networking opportunities with faculty, staff, and fellow recruitment partners.
This year’s FAM Tour will also feature an NC Alumni Showcase Dinner, where NC graduates will share their experiences and demonstrate their contributions to the Niagara Region, offering recruitment partners a powerful testament to how an NC prepares work-ready professionals.
Please extend a warm NC welcome to our global recruitment partners if you see them on campus.
