In case you missed the inauguration of President Steve Stoute on Saturday, October 22, here’s a video recap that highlights the entire weekend. The video was produced with footage provided by Photographer Tom Wolf and Multimedia Producer Brianna Blank.
Eric Gansworth, professor of English and creative Writing, and Lowery Writer-in-Residence, will mark the release of his newest novel, My Good Man, with a book reading, signing and reception on Thursday, November 3 at 7:00 p.m. in the Grupp Fireside Lounge, located on the second floor of the Richard E.

As we close out Cyber Security Month, ITS would like to remind the campus about safe Email practices. Some of the more recent “spoofed” Emails make it appear that someone from Canisius has Emailed you requesting information, but remember, malicious senders are creative and make it look like someone you may know. Remember to look at the actual Email address (using your mouse, hover over the sender’s name in the FROM line) to better identify valid email requests.
From time to time, Canisius accounts can be compromised and then used to send out a phishing email to other Canisius accounts. If you are questioning a request or links in any Email, reach out to the person directly or contact the ITS Helpdesk to verify authenticity. Here’s a quick video with tips on avoiding email scams: https://youtu.be/82NrZ8R05ts
Also keep in mind that ITS will never send an Email concerning authentication (e.g., password expiration) that contains a link.
For faculty/staff, additional measures were deployed in early 2020 for Microsoft Exchange to help identify “safe” vs “unsafe” Emails. Outside Emails will be easily identifiable via one of the following colored alerts. This includes some of the email found in your “Junk” folder that is already marked as “SPAM”.
NOTE: These banners will be displayed asPLAIN TEXT for email messages placed in your junk folder, but if you move it to any one of your other mailbox folders, you will see the full color versions of the above alerts.
We have identified “trusted” emails sent from some of our partner vendors (Slate, Adirondack, Medicat, emails sent by Advancement through Benchmark, etc.) so they will not get this type of header. If you discover we have missed a vendor that should be trusted, please email the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@canisius.edu.
Please help keep our systems safe, and when in doubt, contact the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@canisius.edu.
