Canisius College Training Session Schedule is Available

On Tuesday, September 2 and Wednesday, September 3, the Office of Enrollment Management will be conducting Canisius College Training.

This will assist community members representing the college in student recruitment, athletic recruitment, institutional advancement and provide general campus knowledge.

Cura Personalis in Action

The Jesuit ideal of cura personalis was palpable on Thursday, August 21 at the college’s Student Services Fair.

Representatives from just about all the campus offices were on hand to answer any questions from incoming resident students and their parents.

Rev. Michael F. Tunney, S.J., director of mission and identity, captured the excitement and emotion of the day in the following video, which he produced, assisted by Nathan Johnson, instructional media assistant in the Media Center.

Take a look!
