In honor of Niagara University’s 170th anniversary, we are proud to announce the launch of the Parents Council. This select cohort of parents and grandparents is dedicated to upholding and advancing our Vincentian mission. As pivotal partners in our growth, council members strengthen the University’s reputation through philanthropic leadership and actively enhance the student experience for the entire Purple Eagle community.
MEMBERSHIP AND BENEFITS
- Philanthropic Leadership: Members commit to annual gifts starting at $5,000. These funds directly support “micro-projects” that provide immediate, tangible benefits to students during their time on campus.
- Commemorative Giving: Members are encouraged to consider a “Capstone” gift upon their student’s graduation to honor their family’s Niagara journey
- Exclusive Access: Private opportunities with President Rev. James J. Maher, C.M., and University leadership.
- An invitation to the prestigious President’s Dinner in November.
- Athletic Entertainment opportunities throughout the late fall and early spring semesters
- Ambassadorship: Opportunities to represent the University at regional student admissions receptions.
- The Parents Council formally convenes twice annually: once during the fall semester, coinciding with Family Weekend, and again during the spring semester. Virtual options will be available.
