As we celebrate the season of joy, gratitude and reflection, we THANK YOU for being a faithful member of our giving community.
The collective generosity of faculty and staff donors provides essential funding for scholarships and tuition assistance, academic and athletic excellence and programs that animate our Jesuit educational mission.
As a small token of our appreciation, we would like to gift each faculty and staff donor with a Canisius branded reusable shopping bag (pictured). Our hope was to hand deliver this gift and personally thank each of you but due to unforeseen circumstances we were only able to deliver a limited number of bags. As such, if you have not already received your bag, you can pick one up from the Canisius Fund Office, located on the second floor of Lyons Hall, any time Monday – Friday. This special gift is for faculty and staff who made a gift last academic year, on #CanisusGivingDay or during this year’s 2021-22 campaign.
Thank you so much for all that you do on behalf of Canisius and our students. You are truly wonderful!
If you have not yet made a gift and would like to, you can do so by visiting www.canisius.edu/faculty-staff.
