United Way Campaign Comes to a Close
Thanks to the generous donations made by Canisius faculty and staff, the college’s 2019 United Way Giving Campaign raised a total of $20,000. This substantial gift helps those in need in our community, and enables the United Way to do the work that no one non-profit can do alone.
Special congratulations go out to the final two basket raffle winners: Brian Smith, director of international students and study abroad, and Shelia Pettigrew, senior assistant director of career development.

Adjunct Faculty Information Session
The Center for Online Learning & Innovation (COLI) invites all new, returning and current adjunct professors to an Adjunct Faculty Information Session to help prepare you to teach during the spring 2020 semester. Learn about employee resources, the library, the college mission, and technology for teaching and learning. Refreshments will be served.
The session takes place on Thursday, January 2, 2020, from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. in Science Hall 1008. (This session was previously planned for Old Main 119 but has been moved.)
This is a fantastic way to get up to speed quickly on the essentials for teaching at Canisius College. Adjunct faculty who are teaching at Canisius for the first time this spring can benefit but returning adjunct instructors are also welcome.
