A new Interfaith Prayer Room will be opening this week in the ALB library. The room was created in response to student need and will be a quiet, reflective space for all members of our campus community to enjoy. It is located at BL-021, in the lower level of the library, along the rear wall, next to the Emeritus Suite and along the Hughes Avenue side of the building.
The official ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony will be held this Friday, August 30 at 10:30 a.m. and will include blessings and prayers shared by students, faculty and staff of many faiths. All are welcome!

On September 14 the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) will host the Buffalo Out of the Darkness Community Walk at Delaware Park. Canisius College will be participating and we are hoping that you will consider walking with us to support the education and prevention of suicide.
A life is lost to suicide every 14 minutes in the United States. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among fifteen to twenty-four year olds and the second leading cause of death among college students. However, most Americans remain unaware that suicide is a national health problem. The impact suicide has on the lives of family members, friends, co-workers and the community is devastating. The loss of human potential is enormous.
A major goal of this event is to show support for the families and friends of the more than 38,000 Americans who die by suicide, and the 20 million people who suffer from depression, each year. Support of the community walk also helps to raise funds for suicide prevention research and educational programs, erase the stigma surrounding suicide and its causes, and encourage those who are suffering from mental illness to seek treatment.
Please join Team Canisius College as we raise awareness and funds to bring suicide Out of the Darkness. Online registration is now available at outofthedarkness.org (be sure to join Team Canisius). For more information click here, or contact the Counseling Center at Ext. 2620.
