Each month, the Child & Family Services Employee Assistance Program (EAP) issues a wellness paragraph which contains information to benefit Canisius employees.
May is National Stroke Prevention Month. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the #1 cause of adult disability in America. In fact, about 750,000 people will have a stroke each year. A stroke is a ‘brain attack,’ and cuts off blood and oxygen flow to the brain cells that control everything we do. Strokes can be caused when a blood clot blocks an artery in the brain (ischemic stroke) or when an artery bursts due to a weak spot on a blood vessel wall (hemorrhagic stroke).

New copier/printer/scanners are beginning to arrive on campus to increase capability, improve service, reduce cost, and create a greener campus. Departments will not see an upfront cost as the colleges moves to a per page pricing model. Those costs are:
Xerox Black/White – $.008/page
Xerox Color – $.22/page
HP Black/White – $.035/page
Costs include all supplies except paper. COMDOC will be the source for both supplies (except paper) and maintenance needs. As part of the green initiative, please take advantage of the scanning capabilities to send documents electronically instead of by paper. When paper is needed, consider the most cost effective means to create your document, including the Print Shop.
As the program progresses, please direct questions or concerns to Frank Kirstein, Director of Computer Infrastructure, at kirstein@canisius.edu.
