The campus community is invited to watch The Dome for special “Trivia Wednesdays”
which will be published throughout the school year in every Wednesday edition.
The first person to respond to pubrel@canisius.edu
with the correct answer will win Canisius “swag.” Additionally, once a month on
Wednesdays, there will be a special giveaway in which the winner will receive
some of the newly-designed Canisius Sesquicentennial gear.
Winners will be announced the following Wednesday
each week along with the correct trivia answer.
This
week’s giveaway question is:
Which TWO current professors have been
teaching at Canisius the longest and have the same start date at the college?
(a) Bruce Dierenfield,
PhD – History (b) George Palumbo, PhD – Economics and Finance (c) Richard
Shick, PhD – Economics and Finance (d) Nancy Rosenbloom, PhD – History
Congratulations to Barbara Irwin, PhD, professor of communication studies, who was last week’s Trivia Wednesday winner! See below for last week’s question and answer.

enters week two of its annual coffee walk.
Week one included
stops in Health Science, Science Hall and Lyons Hall. The Canisius Fund saw
many familiar faces, met many new colleagues, and handed out coffee, cider and
donuts as well as encouraged faculty and staff to consider supporting Canisius
Fund 150, the college’s sesquicentennial fundraising campaign.
Some fun pictures
were captured along the way as well.

Academic Affairs will hold a divisional meeting on Monday, November 11 from 2:30 – 4:30 p.m. in the Student Center Regis Room.
This meeting will include a campus climate workshop “Talk About, Think About & Act on Implicit Bias.” Explicit bias refers to the attitudes and beliefs that one may have about a person or group on a conscious level. A female student’s point of view is ignored, while her male peer is applauded for sharing the same or similar insight. A black colleague is viewed as threatening for expressing frustration with work, while a white colleague is viewed as overwhelmed.
Unconsciously, our attitudes, perceptions and stereotypes impact the way we communicate, interact and make decisions. This interactive workshop will increase awareness of implicit bias, assist participants in identifying examples and discuss strategies.
This workshop is open to all staff, faculty and administrators.
Academic Affairs will host a reception following the workshop to encourage continued conversations. Beer, wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served.
