A bust of former Canisius College President Rev. Vincent M. Cooke, S.J., created by Ellen O. Conley, PhD, vice president for student affairs, is now on display on the first floor of the Andrew L. Bouwhuis Library.  Conley donated the bust to the library for public display.

Made from clay, the bust took several months to complete.  Conley has been sculpting busts as a hobby for approximately three years.  She is currently working on a bust of Rev. Paul Dugan, S.J., which will be finished in the coming weeks and will be put on display somewhere in Dugan Hall.
