University of Niagara Falls set to welcome first students in new year

As of Wednesday, September 27, the brand-new University of Niagara Falls (UNF), located on Queen St. in the city’s downtown core, is accepting applications for its inaugural semester starting in January 2024. Cyndi McLeod currently serves as Chief Executive Officer of Global University Systems Canada, the parent organization of UNF.

“There’s a lot of work happening right now in different aspects, from the grassroots up, with operations beginning in January,” McLeod shared in a recent interview with The Niagara Independent. “We’re dedicated to growing our team, we’re hiring key faculty, developing our student service, registrars, etc. – and we’re continuing to add new people.”
