The lifelong pursuit of truth and excellence.

Success in any career requires a commitment to lifelong learning. Niagara University is dedicated to facilitating opportunities for continuing education for our faculty, staff, and students, as well as our local community.

Our faculty is encouraged to search for knowledge through research and publication, and professors share their findings with students in the classroom and their peers at conferences. In addition, they are committed to upgrading their teaching skills, and are supported by the university through teaching conferences, awards for research grants in college teaching, and the university’s newly established office of instructional support, which provides resources and assistance to improve the overall quality of teaching at Niagara.

Opportunities for students to learn are available in the classroom, of course, but also through volunteer service, involvement in student government and clubs, participation in the EAGLE leadership development program, and participation in athletics. Student research also is encouraged. Niagara hosts an annual undergraduate research conference, and an endowed fund to support research opportunities for students was recently created.

Niagara University enables members of the community to continue their learning through a wide variety of credit-free courses, trips, seminars and programs offered by our continuing and community education office.

All members of the Niagara University community recognize that the pursuit of knowledge is a dynamic, ongoing process. It is a pursuit to which we are committed.

Fr. Levesque's Vision

We must be a university that is academically challenging and rewarding for our undergraduate and graduate populations and focus on entrance requirements, class require-ments, rigor of exams, etc., that is, we must always provide an excellent education in content, pedagogy, etc.

Let us show pride in our campus and take serious care of it. A clean, well-groomed and welcoming campus is the atmosphere that we want as our place of work, and it is what present and future students look for in their university. Let this be one of our special goals, especially in this, our 150th anniversary year.
