Open enrollment for the 2011 Canisius Care Flexible Spending accounts ends on December 3.
For 2011, over-the-counter drugs will no longer be eligible for reimbursement without a prescription from a physician. This applies to any claim incurred on or after January 1, 2011, even if the claim is applied to 2010 funds. The change, however, does not apply to other medical items such as bandages, crutches or blood sugar test kits, obtained over the counter.
To obtain reimbursement for over-the-counter drugs in 2011, submit a script to Independent Health with the receipt showing the cost of the prescription. A script with refills only needs to be submitted with the first claim for reimbursement.
Questions regarding Canisius Care should be directed to Dawn Rotterman at Ext. 3151 or rottermd@canisius.edu.

Students from Hamlin Park Elementary visited the college on Tuesday, November 23 to learn more about the Canisius campus and have lunch in the cafeteria. Their visit was part of a community-based learning component Canisius students participate in through FYS 101: Exploration of Academic Writing: Teaching for Equity and Social Justice. The Hamlin Park students were able to gain a better understanding of the college environment as the FYS students experience it.
Canisius students in FYS 101 partner with Hamlin Park Elementary School under the guidance of Mary Beth Zanghi at Hamlin Park, to support classroom learning. Students evaluate their own experiences and the community service experience against the writing of authors related to issues such as diversity, race, socio-economic status, culture, and gender and the social justice movement that promotes educational and socio-economic equity for all learners in all educational settings.
This experience is facilitated and supported by Sr. Patricia Brady, director, community-based learning; Elizabeth Brandjes, director, educational partnerships; and Karen Dutt-Doner, PhD, professor of education, School of Education & Human Services.
