The Ignatian Scholarship Day Committee has a need for faculty, staff or administrator volunteers to act as “timekeepers” or “presiders” at this year’s event on Friday, April 23.
The extraordinary response by students to present expressions of scholarship means that more volunteers are needed to keep the day’s events on time. There are seven concurrent sessions running from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. and each session is 20 minutes in length.
Timekeepers introduce the session and the student scholars. Students have 10-15 minutes to present with approximately three minutes allotted for fielding questions before audience and presenters rotate out of the venue. Volunteers have successfully made this happen like clockwork at past events.
If you are mentoring a student presenter and can be a timekeeper for that paper, please let us know by providing the name of the student or time slot. Volunteers can send availability (preferably in 20 minute intervals) to Kathleen DeLaney at delaneyk@canisius.edu or leave a message at Ext. 2530 or 2916.

The Justice in Action (JIA) working group will present a lecture on refugee resettlement in Buffalo on April 13 from 3:30 – 5 p.m. in the Grupp Fireside Lounge. Representatives from Catholic Charities, The International Institute, Vive La Casa and Journey’s End Refugee Services will speak. Refugee speakers representing countries such as Burma, Bhutan, Nepal, Vietnam, Congo, Iraq, Rwanda and others will also share their experiences about leaving their homeland and resettling in Buffalo.
JIA encourages greater awareness and understanding of the situation of immigrants and refugees who have come to our city to begin a new life. What is the reality? What part can we play in this reality? Why do people leave their homelands to come to ours? JIA is comprised of students, faculty, staff and administration who work to coordinate, publicize, and develop initiatives that educate and promote awareness about justice issues.
This event is open to all on the campus as well as those interested from the Buffalo community. For further information, please contact Sr. Pat Brady at Ext. 2177 or bradyp@canisius.edu
