The college is entering into a new agreement with ESPN under which its students will produce live Canisius athletic events for ESPN3. As a result, the college will offer a new program in Sports Broadcast Journalism beginning in the fall 2015 semester.
A state-of-the-art Golden Griffin Sports Broadcast Center will be built on the first floor of Science Hall, and students in the new program will staff the center. This is an exciting opportunity for Canisius and a unique collaboration between the academic and athletics programs, as well as an introduction of an applied technology presence in Science Hall.
While some learned about this initiative when it was presented by Athletic Director Bill Maher and Communication Department Chair John Dahlberg at the Spring Faculty Meeting, I wanted to be sure that the entire college community heard this good news before it was released to the local media.

As you may know, our Middle States team visit is scheduled for March 22-25. This is an important event that normally occurs every 10 years. Institutional accreditation is required for participation in most state and federally-supported programs, including grants and all student financial aid programs. Accreditation through the Middle States Commission on Higher Education is focused on the whole institution rather than a single program or unit.
Faculty members are invited and encouraged to attend the open faculty meeting on Tuesday, March 24 in Regis South at 3:30 p.m. All members of the campus community are invited to hear the closing team report on Wednesday, March 25 at 10:00 a.m. in the Montante Cultural Center.
