Under the Dome will undergo some modifications and enhancements beginning Monday, February 1. As of that date, readers will have the ability to filter articles based on six categories – Alumni, Athletics, Faculty, Parents, Staff, and Students – to see only articles that pertain to those groups. Articles will also be automatically archived by month and will be accessible through a built-in keyword-based search function. Currently, articles published since August 24, 2009 will be in the new version of Under the Dome; however, articles prior to that date will only be accessible in the existing PDF archives.
Also, the updated submission form for articles will allow users to submit one image or document under 1 Mb through the on-line form instead of Emailing these files separately to the Office of Web Services.
If you have any questions about this, please contact Chuck Pustelnik, director of Web services, at Ext. 2636 or pustelnc@canisius.edu.

Faculty and staff who employee students from the Canisius Earning Excellence Program (CEEP) are asked to remind their students to fill out applications for May 2010-2011 employment. Renewal is not automatic.
Any office on campus can employ a CEEP student with an appropriate project. A 3.15 or higher GPA is required and all students in all majors may apply to work in academic departments, administrative offices or off campus.
More information and current applications are available here. Note that separate forms are used for non-science and science CEEP awards, and make sure the correct recommendation form is completed. The rate for CEEP is $8 per hour, minus taxes, for a maximum of 300 hours.

Today’s (Tuesday, January 26) UNYTS Blood Drive at the Penfold Commons takes on an extra dimension as Canisius battles Niagara for blood donations and donors registered. Please stop by the Penfold Commons between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. to donate blood. Each donation is worth one point as the two campuses clash for the highest number of points. Canisius also picks up two points for each donor registry card completed, which takes about 30 seconds to fill out. The cards can be picked up and completed at the blood drive (no blood donation required) or outside the cafeteria between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
