Members of the campus community filled the Grupp Fireside Lounge on Friday, April 12 to recognize their colleagues at the annual Celebration of Service.
The ceremony recognized more than 100 faculty, staff and administrators who reached five, 10, 15, 20 and 25 or more years of service to the college. The event also honored those retiring from the college this year.
President John Hurley presented the awards to honorees. Bill Collins, vice president for institutional advancement; Peg McCarthy, vice president for academic affairs; and Marco Benedetti, vice president for business and finance, read the names and citations of the honorees.
The location of this year’s Celebration of Service was moved to the Grupp Fireside Lounge to offer a more casual setting for honorees and their guests, and included an open bar with a wine and cheese reception throughout. All attendees also received a complimentary wine glass, etched with the Canisius name.

Kittens have taken up residence in the Margaret L. Wendt Animal Behavior lab in Science Hall. The campus community is invited to view training and enrichment sessions through today, Monday, April 15 and from Monday, April 22 – Thursday, May 2.
Miranda
K. Workman’s ABEC 220: Animal Learning class, in cooperation with the SPCA
Serving Erie County, will welcome five kittens for enrichment and training.
The
sessions include teaching the kittens to walk into a carrier on their own and
completing a small agility course, which makes them attractive adoption
candidates and encourages positive relationships with humans that will help
kittens transition to their new families. Stress and anxiety attached to
catching and putting cats in a carrier are major reasons why cats are seen less
often by veterinarians.
For
these kittens, there will be no stress or anxiety, as they will choose to enter
the carrier by themselves.
The
kittens will be on campus until Thursday, May 2, and will then be available for
adoption. The days and times for enrichment are:
