Niagara College will welcome more than 40 global recruitment partners representing over 25 countries as part of the 2025 Niagara College Familiarization (FAM) Tour, taking place May 8 to 10.
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 our 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 explore the College firsthand and discover why NC is a top choice for students from around the world.
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.
“In collaboration with our partners from around the world, we expand access to transformative learning experiences, empowering global learners to achieve their academic and professional goals,” said Orel Ruiz, NC’s Director, Global Business Development & Global Campus Operations. “FAM Tours provide our educational partners with an immersive, firsthand look at how Niagara College –Canada’s leading global college– celebrates diversity, fosters inclusion, and prepares world-ready graduates.”
By experiencing #ncLIFE firsthand – along with the richness of the Niagara Region – our global partners are better equipped to advise and support prospective students as they explore their study options in Canada, sharing the strength of NC’s academic offering and the unique lifestyle and welcoming community that make Niagara a premier destination.
Please extend a warm NC welcome to our global educational partners if you see them on campus.
