A hallmark of academic excellence at Canisius, CEEP (Canisius Earning Excellence Program) facilitates student collaboration with faculty mentors through highly rewarding educational experiences. These intellectually demanding collaborations create exciting opportunities for applied learning and enhance faculty scholarship. Working closely with faculty on scholarly projects, students gain readiness for a professional career or advanced graduate study. Click here to learn more about CEEP.
The 2020-2021 CEEP students and mentors worked closely at the start of the semester to put together their proposals. Projects were then evaluated and approved by an interdisciplinary faculty review panel. All of the students and their mentors should be very proud of the accomplishment of being recognized as a CEEP awardee. Congratulations!
As with so much these days, CEEP 2020-2021 will not go unaffected by the ongoing pandemic crisis. In the days and weeks to come, the Office of Academic Affairs will work closely with individual mentors to identify ways to support CEEP students while realizing the extra public health and fiscal responsibility we must take in these unprecedented times.
While disruption to many CEEP projects may be substantial, students will still include this award on their resumes and curriculum vitae in recognition of the excellence of their proposed project, regardless of whether the project is completed. This recognition will remain an important part of their professional experience and Canisius history.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the CEEP awardees and their mentors as well as to the CEEP advisory committee. We wish to extend a special thank you to the CEEP review team who worked diligently to approve these projects through the growing disruptions of COVID-19:
