Transforming the Future

In 2016, Niagara University launched the “Powering Transformation” campaign which was designed to ensure that all future generations of Niagara students have the best academic, capital, and programmatic resources needed to achieve their full potential on a personal level and in society.   Beaming with Purple Pride, we can now share that we believe we have built a foundation of hope for the future of the campus and created immediate opportunities for our students to benefit from.

Mary Helen and I are honored to have the family name on the College of Business. Niagara University is a special place for both of us, and we are grateful for the experience of our Vincentian education. We feel very fortunate to be able to share our experience and give back to support student scholarships for business and nursing students, as well as Purple Eagle student athletes.
