The Canisius Earning Excellence Program, also known as CEEP, is an exciting learning opportunity that pairs students with Canisius faculty for educational and rewarding experiences. The CEEP positions of excellence are intellectually demanding and create opportunities for applied learning outside the classroom. The work completed through this program is closely related to a career or scholarly field and directly related to faculty scholarship. By working closely with faculty on research-focused projects, students are able to achieve a high level of preparedness for maintaining professional working relationships and for continued studies at the graduate level.
