The college will roll out its new travel policy next week. An important aspect of this policy is the utilization of the college’s designated travel agency, The Travel Team. It is expected that the partnership with The Travel Team will achieve greater cost savings, stronger buying power and total transparency of all college related trends.
Training for the Concur Travel online booking tool is scheduled October 2nd and 3rd at 2:00 PM in Regis North for travelers who typically book their own travel. Please know The Travel Team’s technology is backed by travel experts, available 24/7 for any and all emergency situations. In addition agents are available to arrange complicated travel plans.
Additional training sessions will be scheduled in the upcoming weeks; including a session specific for travel arrangers – those who book travel arrangements for others.
Please call Kathy Kelly at 2240 to schedule your session.

The Canisius College Joseph J. Naples ’41 Conversations in Christ & Culture Lecture and Performance Series presents Mary Gail Frawley-O’Dea on Thursday, September 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the Regis Room of the Richard E. Winter ’42 Student Center. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Frawley-O’Dea is the clinical director at Presbyterian Samaritan Counseling Center in Charlotte, NC and a specialist in trauma psychology. Her first book, Treating the Adult Survivor of Childhood Sexual Abuse: A Psychoanalytic Perspective, has become a classic text in this field.
Frawley-O’Dea is perhaps more well-known for her public role as an advocate for victims in the Catholic sexual abuse scandal. She was the only psychologist invited to address the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, as they crafted a response to the sexual abuse crisis in the Church.
Her involvement with the scandal resulted in two books: Perversion of Power: Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church and Predatory Priests, Silenced Victims: The Sexual Abuse Crisis and the Catholic Church.
For more information about O’Dea’s lecture or The Joseph J. Naples Conversations in Christ and Culture Lecture and Performance Series, click here or contact Timothy Wadkins, PhD, professor of religious studies and director of Institute for Global Study of Religion, at Ext. 2824.
