GrifFit Wellness Program Announced

From John J. Hurley, president

I am pleased to announce the launch of GrifFit, the official Canisius College wellness program.  This program is part of the college’s strategic plan to develop a comprehensive health and wellness initiative that stresses the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of our faculty and staff.

The college is partnering with Independent Health for this program, which begins by assessing your input through the Interest and Readiness to Change Survey.  The survey is anonymous, and is administered by a third party.  Your individual information will not be shared with the college or Independent Health.  Please complete the 10 minute survey here.   The college will receive an aggregated report of interests and needs which will help us select wellness programs.

We need everyone’s assistance to create a healthier Canisius community.  I ask everyone to complete the survey so we can begin the process.
