Eight Canisius College students recently completed a three-week international education internship where they taught English at Colegio San Ignacio (CSI) in Oviedo, Spain. This is the eighth year of nurturing a rich partnership with CSI, which is a Jesuit concertado public school, pre-K through grade 13, with 1,200 students. This professional experience included expanding two special events. Canisius students hosted American Week, during which CSI students celebrated U.S. traditions through school events and individual classroom activities. There was a grand finale that included an American lunch of hot dogs and hamburgers with a ‘healthier’ cookie made with cream cheese frosting and fresh strawberries and blueberries. Canisius students also facilitated a four-day English immersion camp held at Spain’s Jesuit retreat compound located in the beautiful coastal town of Celorio. The bus ride home was filled with singing American songs, so we know they learned some English! Canisius students enjoyed a unique educational experience as well as a rich personal experience.

The Canisius physical and health education/teacher education (P/HETE) program and Kristin Finn, PhD, professor of teacher education, hosted two local Buffalo Public Schools (BPS) last week at the Koessler Athletic Center. Fourth graders from BPS No. 17 and BPS No. 54 visited the Patrick Lee Gymnasium on May 30 and June 1 to complete their end-of-year fitness assessments. Clancy Seymour, EdD, assistant professor and director of the physical and health education/teacher education program and teacher candidates in the P/HETE program administered all fitness batteries. With more than 140 students in attendance, the experience was enjoyable for the fourth graders and allowed the P/HETE program to conduct research while cultivating local BPS partnerships. A special thanks to Phil Smith ’13 and Tricia Vezina, physical education teachers at BPS No. 17, and Karin Seymour ᾿98, MS ᾿08 and Derek Swader ᾿02, physical educators at BPS No. 54, for their help in coordinating this event. In addition, thanks to Public Safety Director Kim Beaty who was gracious enough to provide a Canisius peace officer to escort the children from BPS No. 17 to KAC and back to school.
