Ann L. Woloszynski ’90, MBA ’94 learned the significance of simple gestures early on at Canisius. Those values remain with her today – and alma mater is a fortunate beneficiary.
The career mentor and member of the Women’s Leadership Council recently named Canisius a beneficiary in her will.
You can read Ann’s story – and many more donor profiles – in the newly-released Annual Report of Donors.

Come to the second meeting of the Serious Games Meetup Group on Friday, December 2 at 10:30 a.m. in Lyons Hall Room 122. The goal is to familiarize faculty and staff with theories and tools for the design and development of serious games or games for purposes other than pure entertainment.
Serious games can serve a wide variety of purposes: educational, scientific simulations, healthcare and therapeutic processes, personnel training, emergency management, city planning and politics. The group will explore learning theories, game design and conduct workshops using various applications and “game engines” that will aid faculty and staff in the development of serious games…and yes we will play games too!
The group, facilitated by P.J. Moskal, PhD, associate professor of communication studies and Mark Gallimore, PhD, instructional designer in the Center for Online Learning and Innovation (COLI), will meet on the first Friday of the month for one-hour sessions.
