For the past 15 years, Niagara University’s Disability Awareness Training program has provided first responders, businesses, and government agencies with customized programs that sensitize and educate participants on all aspects of disabilities and the challenges they may encounter as they interact with and respond to incidents, situations, and accidents that involve individuals with disabilities.
On July 17, 2024, the university reinforced its commitment to fostering inclusivity and understanding for individuals with disabilities by establishing the Institute on Disability Awareness, which will formalize existing programs, expand training options, and make them accessible to a broader audience.

I decided to enroll at Niagara University because it gave me a sense of community when I stepped foot onto campus. I knew I would thrive with the small class sizes and endless opportunities that would be provided to me. What I didn’t know is how much of an impact these opportunities would have on me, as well as my future.
