Men’s Lacrosse Home Opener is Saturday
Team squares off against Cleveland State
Amongst all the hoopla surrounding the success of men’s basketball and hockey, your men’s lacrosse team is off to a great start under the direction of first-year coach Mark Miyashita. After dropping a heart-breaking game at Dartmouth to open the season, the Griffs knocked off Binghamton and Furman to move to 2-1 on the young campaign.
Those first three games were all on the road, however, the team returns to the Demske Sports Complex this Saturday, March 3 for a 1 p.m. faceoff against the Vikings of Cleveland State. Both single game-tickets and five-game ticket packs are on sale at the Koessler Center box office.
For more information visit www.GoGriffs.com, or call the ticket office at 888-TIXX.

COLI Faculty Meetup
Share reflections about teaching online
The next Online and Hybrid Faculty Meetup presented by the Center for Online Learning (COLI) takes place on Friday, March 2 from 1:30 ‒ 3:00 p.m. in the Library Learning Center Classroom. COLI will provide refreshments!
For more than a decade, Canisius College faculty have taught high quality online and hybrid courses. In the process, professors have pioneered methods in this relatively new medium for teaching and learning.
In March, COLI invites online and hybrid instructors to a Meetup to share experiences in, reflections on, and ambitions for teaching online. Rather than a formal presentation, faculty should come as colleagues to share insights and concerns. In your online courses, what worked for you? What didn’t? How do you measure your success? What would you like to do teaching online that you’re not doing now, either because you’re still planning or building the course, or because you face an obstacle?
We also invite any faculty interested in teaching online or hybrid classes but who have not yet done so. Please bring your questions for our seasoned veteran online faculty, and gain valuable insights.
