When the need is greatest, the Canisius community shines brightest! There is no better example than the support of our Emergency Relief Fund, which is directly benefiting students in need as a result of COVID-19. The impact has been astounding and will continue to help students continue their Canisius education.

Upon the return to campus over the next several months, notice that the Xerox printer/copiers all look shiny and new. There was a new agreement signed with ComDoc and the college received a new leased pool of devices. There are some changes to the interface but overall they should be faster and have larger screens. If you or your department would like instructions on using the new devices from one of ComDoc’s trainers, you can contact ComDoc to make arrangements starting June 1.
All users will now be using the MyColor and MyGrayscale print queues. In order to increase accountability, security and make our campus more environmentally friendly, the new devices will no longer directly release print jobs. You will need to swipe your ID card and select the print jobs you want to release.
Most users have already switched to using this Follow-Me queue. Once you print to those queues, you can go to any device on campus and get your printouts. They are held on the servers for 24 hours if you cannot print them right away.
New documentation in the Canisius Wiki will be available soon for the new devices. If you have any questions, comments or concerns please contact the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@canisius.edu, call 888-8340 or visit http://helpdesk.canisius.edu.

It’s Throwback Thursday!
Each Thursday, throughout the summer, the Office of College Communications will include historical facts about the college in The Dome, on Facebook and Twitter. It’s all part of our yearlong sesquicentennial celebration, which culminates in September 2020 when Canisius turns 150 years old.
Today, we flash back to June 19, 1911 when more than 1,500 people witnessed the laying and blessing of the cornerstone at the “new” Canisius College on Main Street in Buffalo, NY.
Attired in military splendor, Col. John L. Schwartz, president of the Alumni Association and head of the college’s Building Fund Committee, addressed the crowd. Col. Schwartz spoke about the committee’s campaign to raise $100,000 for the new building. He explained how its 140 members, many of them businessmen, abandoned their work for days at a time to canvass the city asking for donations of a dollar or more. In the end, the volunteers of the Building Fund Committee raised $100,059. Soon after, Buffalo Bishop Rev. Charles H. Colton turned the first spade of earth and the building of Old Main began.
