The annual Celebration of Service will be held on Friday, April 12 at 3:00 p.m. This year, based on suggestions from the Engagement Committee, the Human Resources Department is excited to announce a number of updates to this long-standing Canisius tradition.
The Celebration of Service will honor all faculty and staff who have reached 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or more years of service at the college. The event will also honor those who have retired or will be retiring from the college this year. The service will be held in Grupp Fireside Lounge, with wine and light refreshments to accompany the event. Family and friends of retirees are also welcome to join us.
All are invited to join the college in celebrating the accomplishments of its honorees and to thank them for their valuable contributions to the college!
