Many of our neighbors in the city of Buffalo are suffering right now. They are struck with grief, fear and anger. At the same time that they are suffering emotionally, residents of the East Side are also struggling to find basic food and supplies. Tops Market on Jefferson Avenue was the only full-service grocery store located in this part of Buffalo. While it is closed, there are a number of initiatives underway to get food, health, and personal care items to those who need it.
We are grateful that so many Canisius students, faculty, staff and alumni have reached out wanting to know how they can help. The Canisius College New Buffalo Institute and others across campus have been working with community partners to understand the needs and organizing our resources to support them.

For security purposes, changes are occurring to how we log into D2L and Zoom.
D2L
Starting at the end of the Spring 2022 semester (Thursday, May 19th), instead of seeing the D2L login page, you will see the familiar Canisius College login page. This is a minor change and should have little to no impact on how you access D2L.
Zoom
Sometime during the Summer months (between June and August), you will only be able to log into Zoom using your Canisius College Password. This means that, if you logged into Zoom using your Canisius Email address but used a password that was different from your Canisius Password, you will now be required to log into Zoom using your Canisius Email and Password via Single-Sign-On (SSO). This also means that you will have to go to canisius.zoom.usto access your online Zoom account instead of going to zoom.us. Additionally, for the desktop and mobile app, please view the instructions for logging in using SSO by clicking this linkhere. This change should have little to no impact on scheduled meetings, saved recordings, or Zoom settings.
