The campus community filled the Montante Cultural Center on Wednesday afternoon to celebrate Gary Everett’s service to the college and wish him well in his retirement. The “police-themed” event included a buffet decorated with caution tape, flashing lights and towers of donuts. Before formal remarks by President Hurley and Dr. Mangione, the group enjoyed a video entitled “A Day in the Life of Gary Everett,” produced by Darren Canham ’15.

Qualtrics is coming to Canisius College! Qualtrics is an advanced toolset for conducting online surveys and collecting data. This service is easy to use, and includes extensive options for processing, reporting, and exporting data, too. To learn about Qualtrics, visit its tutorial site at qualtrics.com/university.
Due to support, usability and reliability concerns surrounding Checkbox version 5.6, the FacTS Center began researching replacements last year. Because it’s powerful, reliable and easy to use, we chose Qualtrics to replace Checkbox and become Canisius’s advanced survey application.
During the summer, FacTS Center staff will work closely with Checkbox users to transition their work to Qualtrics. We hope to have Qualtrics up and running by July, and Checkbox will be phased out of use at Canisius College by October 2015. For questions concerning this process, contact Mark Gallimore, via email or telephone at Ext. 8353.
