NU’s Office of Admissions Web site is among the highest-rated in the country in the National Center for College and University Admissions’ ninth annual Enrollment Power Index.

Niagara was ranked in the top 10 institutions in the North and in the top 10 for Catholic institutions.

The EPI is a research-based analysis that rates how well the functionality and design of college Web sites provide information to potential students. Niagara was one of only 140 institutions to receive an “A” grade.

Carmen Granto, superintendent of the Niagara Falls School District, will be among three honorees at the annual Niagara University President’s Dinner at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Seneca Event Center in Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel.

The black-tie event will benefit the university’s scholarship program.

Granto will receive the President’s Award of Distinction, as will Cheryl Klass, president of The Women’s & Children’s Hospital of Buffalo and vice president of Kaleida Health, and Thomas E. Baker, immediate past president of The John R. Oishei Foundation and past chairman of the Buffalo Fiscal Stability Authority.

Granto is being cited for helping develop partnerships that have helped both the school district and the university. Klass, a 1977 nursing graduate, is being cited for her professional achievements, while Baker is being honored for his community service and leadership of the Oishei Foundation, which has provided grant support for the university’s College of Hospitality and Tourism Management.

Call 286-8788 for information.
