Another fall tradition at Canisius has been altered as a result of the coronavirus. President John J. Hurley is delivering his annual convocation address via video rather than in-person this year, to ensure the safety of the campus community and abide by protocols set forth by the New York State Health Department. His convocation address, which is usually a lengthy speech, will instead be segmented into two or three short videos, each with a different theme.
In the first of this series of videos, President Hurley reports on the state of the college. Click here or on the link above to watch the video in its entirety. Subsequent videos will address Canisius’ path forward.

The Office of Mission and Identity (M&I) has purchased 30 tickets to the North American virtual premiere of “Francesco” taking place this Sunday, October 25 at 3:00 p.m. EST at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival. The event includes a Q&A with the director after the screening.
“Francesco” takes an unsparing look at the most pressing challenges of the 21st century, asking deep questions about the human condition. The film is guided by Pope Frances who, with tremendous humility, wisdom and generosity, offers moving lessons from his life that illuminate what it will take to build a better future. In doing so, he addresses issues such as climate change, immigration, peace and religious tolerance, LGBTQ support, gender and identity justice, and economic equality.
