It’s been a busy but exciting few days for our first-year students attending New Griff Orientation. Their ‘taste-of-Canisius’ included campus and community tours, a student services fair, academic & career mentoring sessions, an introduction to our Jesuit values and, of course, a formal welcome and blessing from President Steve Stoute. And the school year just started!

Associate Professor of Economics Julie Anna Golebiewski, PhD, says the region’s shrinking workforce is a big reason why job growth isn’t stronger here. The Buffalo News interviewed Golebiewski for an August 29 story titled “WNY has a People Problem and it’s Putting a Damper on Hiring.”
The college will be closed on Monday, September 5 in recognition of the Labor Day holiday. Canisius will reopen on Tuesday, September 6. We wish you a safe and enjoyable weekend!
