“Canisius Cares Week” (Jan. 27 – 31) is a week dedicated to promoting kindness and compassion throughout the Canisius community, especially for those who struggle with mental illness.
The Office of Residence Life, RHA, CPLD and the Counseling Center have teamed up to offer opportunities during Canisius Cares Week to raise awareness and to reduce the stigma which often accompanies mental illness. The quad behind Old Main has been lit up with green lights for mental illness awareness.
Counselors are available in the Counseling Center (Bosch Hall 105) to help faculty and staff provide support to students who are struggling with mental illness or to help connect students to counseling services.
Mental illnesses are medical conditions that can cause people to think, act and feel differently than they usually do. One in four of us will experience mental health problems in a lifetime. Fifty percent of American college students experienced overwhelming anxiety in the past year. We can make a difference by showing compassion.

The Office of Web Services will be launching a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) project in the beginning of February 2014. During Phase One of this project, Web Services will be reaching out to a select group of programs for benchmark testing and implementation. During this phase of the project we are asking any interested programs/departments to download and fill out the attached pdf and send it back via interoffice mail or email to courtned@canisius.edu. If it is determined that your landing page can benefit from SEO, your program/department will be placed into the queue for Phase Two. We will call your department to set up a short 15-30 minute meeting to discuss your landing page and our recommendations for optimizing.
Phase Two is preliminarily scheduled to start on March 1, 2014.
