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 of each week along with the correct trivia answer.
This week’s giveaway question is:
What Canisius event drew nearly 80,000 people to the Main Street campus in 1923?
(a) Commencement
(b) Presidential Inauguration
(c) Blessing of the Koessler Athletic Center
(d) The Passion Play

Congratulations to Mark Piatkowski, associate director of student life, who was last week’s Trivia Wednesday winner! Mark will receive some Canisius swag once the college returns to normal operations.
Last week’s Trivia Wednesday question was:
The rose window over the main entrance of Christ the King Chapel features the figure of Christ the King in the center. Twelve petals radiate out from the center. What do they represent?
Starting Tuesday, May 19, The Dome will publish every Tuesday and Thursday throughout the summer, until the first week of classes for the fall semester. At that time, The Dome will then return to its regular Monday, Wednesday and Friday schedule.
The deadline for summer submissions is 2:00 p.m. on the Monday and Wednesday before publication.

Those who use Zoom for web conferencing, meetings and courses frequently make recordings of their online sessions. Canisius’ Zoom license has a limit to total online storage for all users. Periodically, the Zoom administrators at Canisius must delete old videos within the Zoom account. In most cases, videos still stored in Zoom accounts are no longer in use or haven’t been viewed recently.
After Wednesday, May 20, videos stored within Zoom recorded before Wednesday, January 1, 2020 will be deleted.
If you have videos stored in Zoom that you continue to use in coursework or administrative work, please download and transfer them to your Canisius Google Drive by Wednesday, May 20, 2020.
