This week the competition was stiff and it was too tough to pick just one winner – so we have two!
Our fans of the week are the Office of Admissions and the Business and Finance Division.
Check out the Admissions Boomerang here and the Business and Finance Division video below:

The campus community filled the Grupp Fireside Lounge last week to enjoy an Ice Cream and Dessert Reception for those who supported the 2016-17 Faculty and Staff campaign.
It was wonderful to see such a great turnout and heartwarming that so many faculty and staff members support our students in this way. Gifts to the Canisius Fund support scholarships, academic and athletic excellence and travel immersion opportunities, all of which provide our students with life-changing experiences.
Kate Campanaro ᾿18 lived and worked in an orphanage in Poland during an international service-immersion experience offered through the Office of Campus Ministry in 2016.
“I came to Canisius because of all the colleges I considered, Canisius was the only one that stood for something more. The international service-immersion experiences that I had the opportunity to participate in were life-changing, eye-opening, and inspiring. Thank you, Canisius Fund donors for making these experiences possible for students like me.”
