Traditionally, law enforcement officers and staff have come to the aid of needy people during the holiday season. With this proud tradition in mind, the Department of Public Safety will once again collect warm clothes, blankets and toys for those less fortunate in the City of Buffalo for the Canisius College Public Safety Holiday Needy Drive.
The donations will be delivered to the Ladies Of Charity Christmas Program. Cash is also welcome to buy new toys for the kids.
To donate, bring items to the Public Safety briefing room. Volunteers will be needed to assist with the delivery of the items on a date to be announced. Rev Paul J. Dugan, S.J. will bless the donation, and after the delivery, lunch will be served for all in the briefing room.
The Holiday Needy Drive has helped many families enjoy Christmas including those who may not have been able to buy their children a toy. Public Safety hopes the 10th annual Holiday Needy Drive is the largest donation so far.
For more information, contact Gary Everett, director of public safety, at Ext. 3197 or everett@canisius.edu.

As the semester comes to a close with exam week fast approaching, the Office of Disability Support Services (DSS) reminds faculty and academic department administrative personnel that students are responsible for scheduling their exams with the DSS office and providing professors with the appropriate proctor sheet ahead of time.
DSS relies on these proctor sheets in order to best proctor the exams according to department requirements. DSS determines the amount of extended time for students who are registered with the office based on their specific accommodations. DSS has also just implemented a new policy to more effectively monitor and deliver exams. A label with a number on the upper right hand corner of the exams is for office purposes only to ensure the proper administration and delivery of exams.
For information on how to work with students who may not be registered with DSS, or any other questions regarding DSS students and exam procedures, please contact DSS at Ext. 3748.

The Canisius College Chorale, under the direction of Frank Scinta, will conclude its 2010 Sacred Spaces Concert Series with its annual Winter Concert on Friday (December 3) at 7:30 p.m. in the Montante Cultural Center. The concert is free and open to all.
Sacred Spaces stems from an idea the choir proposed six years ago to feature its music in some of Western New York’s most beautiful and acoustically resonant environments – namely, the sanctuaries of our area’s churches. As a result, the choir has visited nearly 30 houses of worship with its repertoire of sacred and secular music spanning five centuries.
