Homecoming 2014 is a Huge Success
On behalf of the college and the Institutional Advancement Division, thank you to everyone throughout the college who contributed to the success of the 2014 Homecoming this weekend. A year’s worth of planning and hard work culminated in a fantastic series of events this weekend, headlined by the Friday night Tent Party that has received rave reviews from those in attendance.
Countless people gave up their personal time this weekend to ensure our alumni had a great experience and felt warmly welcomed back to their alma mater. We cannot begin to single out individuals or departments because so many people touched some piece of Homecoming, so thank you to everyone at Canisius College for a spectacular team effort!
