Our Past, Our Progress
It’s been 50 years since a group of five African-American students founded the Afro-American Society at Canisius. A student club, yes, but one with an infrastructure focused less on social activities and largely on advocacy initiatives aimed at diversifying the student body, diversifying the academic curriculum and introducing diversity to the campus community.
The latest issue of Canisius Magazine commemorates this milestone in college history, reflecting on the origins of the Afro-American Society, examining its progress over the past half-century and considering what the future holds for diversity at Canisius – and on college campuses everywhere.
Also in this issue: A new study by Ann Marie Lenhardt, PhD, identifies some of the greatest risk factors for school violence and suggests a new framework for school safety; Neurosurgeon Erin E. Biro ’02, MD, practices medicine’s most difficult art; and John Brinkworth Jr. MBA ’96 revs up Buffalo Harley-Davidson while fueling the spirit of a family business.

Second Act
Baby Boomers may be heading into retirement in droves but not all are interested in boundless years of leisure. Many, in fact, embark on encore careers.
Some repurpose their professional experiences and put them to work for the greater good. Others revisit an earlier passion they perhaps put aside for more practical career paths. There are also those who simply seek ways to make their golden years more meaningful.
If you know a Canisius alumnus/a who is currently pursuing an encore occupation, Canisius Magazine wants to hear from you.
Share his/her story with us at ccmag@canisius.edu. Responses will be published in a future issue of Canisius Magazine and at www.canisius.edu/magazine.
