Fr. Tunney Announces 2013 Mission & Identity Summer Course Grant

Rev. Patrick J. Lynch, S.J. (Religious Studies & Theology, A&S) is the recipient of a Mission & Identity Course Development Grant for summer 2013. Rev. Michael Tunney, S.J., director of the Mission & Identity office, oversaw the process that concluded Thursday, April 25 with the award.

Professor Lynch’s course proposal is entitled “Famous Jesuits.”

His course proposal will benefit our Honor’s Program students’ understanding of our Catholic intellectual tradition’s Jesuit history and spirituality lived out across the centuries and around our world. The students and Prof. Lynch alike will benefit from his professional development and his departments’ growth in this area central to our mission and values.

Fr. Tunney commended Prof. Lynch and his course proposal for his response to our college’s deepening appreciation of our Catholic and Jesuit ideals in the classroom as well as the countless ways it can take root in the bodies, minds, and spirits of Jesuits, our students, and our colleagues.

Matt Faulkner video screening and book signing tonight

Join Matthew Faulkner ’13 for a video screening and book signing tonight (April 29) at 7:30 p.m. in Regis North.

The documentary, Recovery, is based on the book Most Likely to Survive which details Matt’s miraculous recovery from traumatic brain injury.

An automobile accident on March 2, 2009, while Faulkner was a senior at West Seneca West Senior High School, left him in a deep coma for almost two months with almost no chance of survival. Against all odds, he walked out of ECMC 103 days later, and across the stage at his high school graduation just two weeks later. A senior finance major, Matt will graduate this May from Canisius.

Copies of Most Likely to Survive will be available for purchase before the book signing. Copies of Recovery can be ordered during the event.

For more information, contact the Office of Public Relations at Ext. 2790 or visit www.facebook.com/MattFaulkner2013
