The college rolled out its new travel policy last week (this policy can be found on the ‘Canisius Policies page, under ‘General Policies’ on myCanisius). 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 for October 11 at 10:00 a.m. in Regis South for travel arrangers (those who book travel arrangements for others). There will be a session on October 15 at 10:00 a.m. 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. Please call Kathy Kelly at Ext. 2240 to schedule your session.

Canisius College presents Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney, who will read from his works on Tuesday, October 23 at 7:00 p.m. in the Montante Cultural Center for the college’s 10th anniversary Hassett Reading. Heaney’s visit, which is part of the Canisius College Contemporary Writers Series, is free and open to the public. Seating is limited. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
Seamus Heaney was born in Northern Ireland. Death of a Naturalist, his first collection, was published in 1966. Since then he has published poetry, criticism and translations that have established him as one of the leading poets of his generation. Heaney has twice won the Whitbread Book of the Year award for The Spirit Level (1996) and Beowulf (1999). In 1995 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Between 1989 and 1994 Heaney was professor of poetry at Oxford, and from 1996-2006, he was the Ralph Waldo Emerson Writer-in-Residence at Harvard University. His most recent collection is Human Chain.
Heaney’s visit to Buffalo marks the 10th anniversary of the Hassett Reading that have brought many leading Irish and Irish-American writers to Western New York, including Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon, and acclaimed novelists Colm Toíbín, Sebastian Barry and Alice McDermott. The Hassett Reading is supported by the distinguished Buffalo family that includes attorneys Joseph M. Hassett ’64, PhD and Paul M. Hassett Jr. ’62.
The Contemporary Writers Series was developed by Mick Cochrane, PhD, professor of English and Lowery Writer-in-Residence at Canisius. For more information, contact Cochrane at Ext. 2662.
