On #CanisiusGivingDay, the Canisius community rallied together and showed the power of the blue & gold, making Giving Day 2022 the biggest, and most impactful yet.
Wednesday, April 6 (and the days that followed) were nothing short of amazing. The #OneCanisius spirit proved stronger than ever with 1,879 donors making 2,295 gifts for a total of $500,706 (and counting), including $176,000 in unlocked challenges and matching gifts. Wow! Gifts were made in support of the Canisius Fund, academic programs, athletics teams, institutes and scholarships.
While Giving Day is an opportunity for alumni, family and friends to give back in support of students, I am proud to share that so many of our students (162, to be exact) also lent their support – in honor of those who will come after them. What a tremendous display of school spirit!
While Giving Day has passed, the impact of your gift – and the gifts of so many others – is just beginning. Thank you!

COLI and the Academic Affairs Division are already planning our Faculty Development Week for Summer 2022! The dates are August 15th -19th.
If you have a session or workshop idea for fellow faculty, consider proposing it to us. Sessions are roughly one hour, fifteen minutes long, but that can be conversation rather than a formal presentation. We are hoping to make this Development Week 100% in purpose, and on-campus!
There are only three more Coffee and Conversations meetings left:
· Friday, April 22 at 9:30 a.m.
· Tuesday, April 26 at 10:00 a.m.
· Wednesday, May 4 at 9:00 a.m.
As with all our Coffee and Conversations opportunities for community connection, no RSVP is required and all are welcome. Don’t forget to stop by the Academic Affairs Office in Bagen 103 to pick up your Tim Horton’s voucher before you head over to the Laudato Si’ Earth Day Celebration to enjoy Bird-Friendly Coffee and the rest of the Earth Day events. Click here to RSVP and stay tuned to The Dome for more information about Earth Day 2022!
