The United Way Executive Committee would like to thank the Canisius Community for contributions to the United Way Campaign that currently total $21,600. We also would like to remind those that intend to give, but haven’t as yet, that the Campaign will end on Monday, Oct. 18. Our goal is $30,000 and with your help we will reach our goal for the 11th consecutive year. No gift is too small for this worthy cause.

Don’t leave a laptop, smartphone, or PDA unattended, even for “just a second.” More than 12,000 laptops are lost in airports every year, and two-thirds of those are never recovered. ITS recommends securing such devices to be used in a public space with a Kensington-style lock and cable. The Help Desk can order these for those who want the devices. Call Ext. 2299 for more information.
