Canisius College is among the top institutes of higher education to earn a 2023-24 Military Friendly® Schools designation. The Military Friendly Schools® list is produced by Viqtory, publisher of G.I. Jobs magazine, and recognizes the top colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace America’s military service members, veterans and spouses as students, and to ensure their success on campus. Military Friendly® Schools is considered the most comprehensive resource for veterans today.
The campus community is invited to learn about the college’s new hybrid study abroad/internship/service learning opportunity at the U.S. Mexico border during a presentation on Monday, February 27 at 7:00 p.m. in Science Hall. The program, titled “Jesuit Values at the Border,” is being offered in partnership with Kino Border Initiative (KBI). Canisius students Emma Marzec, Emma Radel and Julianna Falsone recently completed a summer project with KBI and will serve as presenters at this event.
Since 2009, the Kino Border Initiative has worked at fostering bi-national solidarity through humanitarian assistance, education and advocacy, on each side of the Mexico border in Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Sonora, Mexico.

Thank you Aditi Myneni, the 10-year-old daughter of Canisius Physician Assistant student Deepthi Krishna. Aditi donated toys for autistic children served by the Institute for Autism Research.
According to her mother, Aditi wanted to make a difference and thus, on her own initiative, began organizing, publicizing and collecting toys from her fellow students at Maple West Elementary School. These toys were very much appreciated by autistic students participating in the IAR’s summerMAX and school programs. Aditi’s compassion, determination and drive to make a difference are much appreciated!
