Ignite Buffalo Grant Winner: ‘My Time at Niagara University Showed Me How Change is Made’
Former Niagara University General Counsel Stephanie “Cole” Adams, now the owner of The Law Office of Stephanie Adams PLLC, in Buffalo, was one of the 23 recipients of a $25,000 grant from last week’s Facebook-sponsored Ignite Buffalo competition.
She will use the grant to hire multilingual people with insight into the immigrant and refugee experience, as well as people who have been directly impacted by Buffalo’s systemic poverty.
Adams credited the time she spent at Niagara University for her decision to pursue the community-building opportunity.
