SUN COME UP: Environmental Refugees
Canisius College is proud to join other Catholic colleges and organizations in airing SUN COME UP, an Academy Award-nominated documentary about the inhabitants of the Carteret Islands. These are among the world’s first environmental refugees, and efforts from Catholic colleges and organizations have been instrumental in helping them to relocate.
The event takes place on Wednesday, October 3 at 7:00 p.m. in Regis North. It is free and open to the entire campus community. A discussion will follow the film.
This event is co-sponsored by the Institute for the Global Study of Religion, the Catholic Studies Program at Canisius and Campus Ministry.
Please contact Sarah Signorino at Ext. 2424 or signoris@canisius.edu for more information, or visit catholicclimatecovenant.org.

Lauren Cavanaugh, Assistant Professor of Kinesiology, and Assistant Softball Coach, Kim Griffin, have been coaching a Special Olympics softball team for the past few months. Since this new team did not gain entry into the Special Olympics State Games this fall, a Unified Game with the Canisius women’s softball team will be held on October 3 from 5:3 p.m.-7 p.m. at the Demske Complex.
To make this event as exciting as possible for the Special Olympics athletes, the event will have a PA announcer and a running score board. The goal is to draw a big crowd, and hopefully Petey will make a guest appearance.
Thank you in advance for your support and we hope to see you there. GO GRIFFS!!
