Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback in the selection of a brand agency for the college. This work is the next step that follows the market research completed earlier this year by Simpson Scarborough. In addition to Ologie, which presented last Tuesday (October 25), two other national agencies will present this week.
Mindpower, from Atlanta, will present Tuesday (November 1) at 2:00 p.m. in the Montante Cultural Center.
160over90, from Philadelphia, will present Wednesday (November 2) in the Regis Room, also at 2:00 p.m.
All faculty and staff are invited to attend these presentations. There will be opportunities to participate in a question and answer session following the formal presentations. Refreshments will be provided.
One of these agencies will be selected to partner with Canisius to aid in the development of a brand marketing plan designed to enhance and extend the visibility and reputation of the college. This work, which is part of the college’s strategic plan, is intended to help Canisius better define and manage our reputation, further differentiate the college from various competitors, and to support, among other priorities, our enrollment and fundraising efforts. The results of this work will begin to be incorporated into our marketing and communications next summer.

The Canisius College Zoo Biology Program announces the opening of its eighth mini-zoo, “Safari Canisius: a celebration of African wildlife.” Located in Room 102 of the college’s Health Science Building, Safari Canisius is free and open to the public. It runs Monday through Friday, November 7 – November 18, from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Naturalistic exhibits constructed by Canisius College students display nine species on loan from The Buffalo Zoo, including the black and white ruffled lemur, serval, African crested porcupine, rock hyrax, ring-necked dove, African cichlid fish, pancake tortoise, sand boa and the Egyptian spiny-tailed lizard. Their habitats were designed by students in the Canisius College Zoo Biology Program, under the guidance of Susan Margulis, PhD, assistant professor of biology and animal behavior, ecology, and conservation; Gerry Aquilina, curator at The Buffalo Zoo and Frank Ferrelli, carpenter for Commercial Service Construction.
The mini-zoo group project began in September. Students studied the principles of exhibitry and husbandry in class, at The Buffalo Zoo, and at several out-of-town zoos, which they traveled to throughout the semester. Based on their studies, students then converted a first-floor storage room and adjoining plant-growth room into a simulated African habitat, including grasslands, lakes and a tropical rainforest.
