Please note that the mailroom staff will no longer deliver mail directly to department offices located on the main campus. Instead, a new centralized mail distribution center, located in the Faculty Lounge, opened on August 21.
Each department will be designated a box, and department members will be responsible for picking up and dropping off mail at the distribution center. Faculty members will no longer have individual mailboxes.
Mailroom staff will deliver parcels deemed too large or heavy to fit in the centralized mailboxes at the earliest opportunity. Locking mailboxes will be provided for vice presidents and the following confidential offices: Controller’s, Human Resources, Payroll, Student Health and Student Records & Financial Services. Place mail for the President’s Office in the blue freestanding mail deposit box in the faculty lounge.
This change in mailroom delivery procedures applies only to departments located on the main campus. Offices in Agassiz, Lyons, KAC, HSC, Demerly and Science Hall resumed regular mail delivery as of August 21.
Contact Gary Lew, director of purchasing, at Ext. 2255, if you have questions.

The Center for Online Learning & Innovation (COLI) is hosting two adjunct faculty orientation sessions on Thursday August 24 and Thursday September 7 from 5:00 – 6:30 p.m. On August 24, attendees can arrive early at 4:00 p.m. to participate in a guided tour of Bouwhuis Library.
These sessions are not mandatory but are a fantastic way to quickly get up to speed on the essentials for teaching at Canisius College. Adjunct faculty who are teaching at Canisius for the first time this fall can obviously benefit but adjunct instructors who have taught at Canisius in the past are also welcome. It’s a good opportunity to learn about resources and support available to you at Canisius!
See the Center for Online Learning & Innovation blog here for details.
Please RSVP to Kathy Peter at peter@canisius.edu or at 888-2121 so we have an estimate of the number of people attending.
