Last month twenty members of the Canisius community joined this effort. They included faculty/staff, students and alumni and their families. Erin Gaddi '14, Father Patrick Lynch, S.J. and Dr. Terri Mangione are pictured along with several students.
Faculty, staff and their family members are invited to join campus ministry and the Buffalo Burrito Project next Tuesday, July 22. Students largely support the effort during the academic year but now that school’s out, additional volunteers are needed for this outreach ministry.
The Burrito Project provides home-made burritos to the poor and homeless population in downtown Buffalo. This outreach ministry serves some of God’s most vulnerable and forgotten children in our society.
Burritos will be prepared in our kitchen from 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
From 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. the group will walk a four-mile route and serve about 80 burritos, snacks and cold drinks. (A campus ministry support van follows the team as we walk).
You may choose to help prepare the burritos, prepare and serve or just serve. Most people do both.
To sign-up, simply email Joe Van Volkenburg, vanvolkj@canisius.edu. Please include name, email and cell number.

Canisius College Information Technology Services has been helping the campus recycling movement by encouraging everyone to recycle their old electronics, used ink jet and laser printer cartridges. To date, we have saved more than 100 cell phones and 400 inkjet cartridges from entering landfills over the last three years.
We partner with Operation Gratitude. They collect items for recycling and receive monetary support from their recycling partners. Operation Gratitude goals are to lift morale and put smiles on faces by sending care packages addressed to individual Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines deployed overseas. Operation Gratitude care packages contain food, hygiene products, entertainment items and personal letters of appreciation, all wrapped with good wishes of love and support. More information about Operation Gratitude can be found at this web site.

Please bring your old cell phones, smart phones, PDA’s, Blackberry’s, iPods and used ink jet printer cartridges to the recycling center drop box located in the Internet Plaza on the second floor of Old Main.
Feel free to bring items from campus or home for this recycling program. Every little bit helps. ITS also encourages you to never throw old electronics into the trash. At home, please save them for one of the special county-wide recycling collection days usually held at ECC and local schools. Keep an eye on the local news for these announcements. Electronics recycling events are usually held monthly throughout Erie County.
We also recycle laser printer toner cartridges. Used laser printer cartridges can be placed in campus mail and sent directly to ITS. Please mark them for Recycling – ITS. To dispose of other electronics on campus, please contact the ITS Help Desk at Ext. 8340.
If you have any questions about the programs mentioned above or want to help out, please contact Scott Clark at Ext. 8357 or clarks@canisius.edu

On June 30 and July 1, the JUSTICE Project at Canisius College hosted a Kagan Cooperative Learning Workshop. More than 40 educators from 14 different schools participated in the two-day training to extend their professional learning. By actively engaging in the workshop, K-12 teachers, administrators, Canisius faculty members and teacher candidates learned how to apply cooperative learning structures in their classrooms to increase student engagement.

In an effort to improve efficiency and reduce costs, the Accounts Payable Department will no longer process checks on a daily basis. Effective August 1, Accounts Payable will process checks twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Direct pays, however, should continue to be created and sent to the Controller’s Office for approval on a daily basis. Please take into consideration when the invoice is due to ensure payment is made in a timely fashion. If you have any questions concerning this new policy, please call Shelly Baronich or JoAnn Feary in the Controller’s Office at Ext. 8525.
