The School of Education and Human Services held a Chili Cook-Off on Wednesday, March 4 as a friendly competitive winter diversion. Seven members of the department each cooked a crockpot of chili, and tasters at the event sampled and voted. There was also a mystery judge circulating and sampling.
The winner of the Tasters’ Award was Clancy Seymour, PhD, for “The Snowblower” chicken and bean white chili. The judge’s award winner was Michele Marable, PhD, for a tasty traditional beef and beans red chili. Thanks to our discreet guest mystery judge, Roger Herle, for lending his well-trained taste buds to the cause. Proceeds of a free-will donation will benefit Cradle Beach.

Please click here for information on the upcoming Atlantic Hockey quarterfinal series that Canisius will host next weekend. We should know the opponent by Sunday evening, however it will be one of the following Air Force, Army, Sacred Heart or AIC.
Lots of fun activities are planned around the game including two huge pre-game parties that feature 2-for-1 drinks, free appetizers and live music. This is a great way to get into the St. Patrick’s Day holiday mood.
One thing of note, if you are coming to the game(s), parking in the HC ramp will be free on both nights if you have your game ticket. The Bandits play Friday and the Sabres on Saturday, so if you do not have a Canisius ticket in advance, you will pay their game night prices ($15 for Bandits and $20 for Sabres). You can also park in a satellite lot or take the subway. Parking is also based on availability. Your game ticket does not guarantee you a parking spot in the ramp.
If the series does go to a third game, it will be played at 5:05 p.m. on Sunday. More incentives will be announced after Saturday’s game if we get to that point. For more info, check gogriffs.com.
Looking forward to having you in the building next weekend. Call 888-2885 to order your tickets now.

The Canisius College Chorale, under the direction of Frank Scinta, will continue its 2014-2015 “Sacred Spaces” concert series with a program on Monday, March 9 at 7:30 p.m. in St. Louis Church at Main and Edward Streets in Buffalo.
The concert will feature works by Hogan, Mendelssohn, Buxtehude, Dawson, Ticheli and others. Admission is free.
Sacred Spaces stems from an idea the choir proposed nine years ago to feature its music in some of Western New York’s most beautiful and acoustically resonant environments – namely, the sanctuaries of our area’s churches. As a result, the choir has visited nearly 40 houses of worship with its repertoire of sacred and secular music spanning five centuries.
Please join us for an evening of great choral music!
