To facilitate recovery from Hurricane Melissa, Niagara College was pleased to hand over a batch of fifteen (15) freshly refurbished laptops to our partners at The Council of Community Colleges of Jamaica in Jamaica!

Under the auspices of the Niagara-CCCJ MOU, these laptops were donated to support recovery efforts following Hurricane Melissa, which had a significant impact on several CCCJ member institutions. Niagara College is pleased to support these recovery efforts and looks forward to future collaborations with CCCJ.

Whether they’re used to code the next big app, write brilliant essays, or just survive endless virtual meetings, we know these devices are in great hands.

Here’s to seamless collaboration, boosting productivity and doing great things together!
