President John J. Hurley, and his wife, Maureen, invite you to explore faith and social justice on a global scale with a trip to El Salvador and Guatemala from June 3-13, 2018.
Entitled Faith, Tradition and Modernization in Central America, the trip includes visits to Mayan ruins and an examination of Catholic and Mayan spirituality in the ancient villages along Lake Atitlan in Guatemala.
“The experience enables alumni and life-long learners to fulfill their interests in other cultures, forge deep bonds with other globally conscious adults and in-country experts, and have enriching, international educational experiences that connect them to people and places not available on a typical tour,” says Timothy Wadkins, PhD, director of the Institute for Global Engagement (IGE), who will lead the trip. “Most importantly, these trips illuminate and challenge the traveler’s own spiritual journey.”
The group will also travel to Guatemalan and Salvadoran civil war memorial sites where Catholic bishops, priests and peasants were martyred. They will visit Catholic cathedrals, Pentecostal mega-churches and congregations engaged in social service.
Participants will hear presentations from topical experts and enjoy a concert by a renowned Salvadoran folk singer. The seminar also includes opportunities for hiking, shopping, golf and a coffee plantation tour.
For more information, contact Timothy Wadkins, IGE director, at wadkins@canisius.edu or (716) 2824 or click here.

The United Way Committee would like to remind you that our campaign will continue this year through Thanksgiving. Thank you to the 50 employees who already donated to this year’s campaign. With this support, Canisius College is already helping to make a big difference in the Buffalo community!
However, there is still work to be done to help us achieve our goal of 70 donors. As a reminder, a donation of as little as $1 per week can provide tax representation services for up to eight families. Two dollars per week can provide 10 hours of tutoring for 25 local children. Please consider making your online pledge today.
