To coincide with launch of the college’s fall marketing campaigns, canisius.edu is getting a facelift with a newly redesigned homepage that will be live beginning Tuesday, September 10. The new homepage highlights Canisius’ marketing theme — YOU CAN — and brings forward messaging featured in the college’s recruiting materials. The redesign introduces a modern look, new branding and storytelling elements, and several new features to improve the user experience.
Canisius College climbed to the 19th spot in the
top tier of U.S. News & World Report’s 2020 rankings for America’s
Best Colleges, Regional Universities – North. Canisius moved up four
spots from its 2019 U.S. News ranking of 23rd among 128
regional universities in the North.
Canisius was recognized for student excellence, its
first-year student retention rate, its average graduation rate, small class
sizes, faculty resources and its average alumni giving rate. U.S. News
separately ranks comprehensive colleges and universities by region of the
country.
In addition to Canisius’ climb among top tier
regional schools, U.S. News & World Report includes the college on
its list of Best Value Schools. Canisius ranked 5th out of 75
regional universities in the North, up five spots from last year. Canisius was
recognized for the percent of students who receive grant-based need (71
percent) and the average discount from the total cost of the school (41
percent).
The Best Value Schools ranking takes into account a school’s academic quality (based on U.S. News’ Best Colleges ranking) and the net cost of attendance for a student who received the average level of need-based financial aid. The higher quality and the lower the cost of the program, the better the deal. Read more.
Please join the Office of Academic Affairs on Monday, September 16 from 9 – 11 a.m. in Old Main 119 for a Progress Report and Advisement Workshop. This workshop will provide information from the Griff Center, the Core Curriculum Committee, the Honors Program and associate deans as we head into the fall advisement period. Topics will include using iAdvise effectively, Griff Audits, advising for the core and honors, as well as anything else participants might find useful for a broad level overview for anyone doing advisement for any major.
It is our hope that we will have faculty at different levels so longer term faculty can share pro-tips with their more junior colleagues.
For those who have kids and those who are kids at heart, please join us Friday, September 13 for a start of the school year family friendly evening! The evening will kick off with a potluck dinner* at 6:00 p.m. in the Christ the King Chapel Undercroft.** After the potluck, we will head to Old Main 203 to watch Inside Out and eat popcorn.
