Canisius is committed to maintaining a workplace free from sexual harassment. Every employer in New York State is required to provide employees with sexual harassment prevention training on an annual basis. As an alternative to the online training option, the College is partnering with Phillips Lytle to provide this in-person training option to meet the requirement for 2023. You are only required to register for one of the sessions listed below to meet the training requirement.
The following sessions are scheduled for the fall semester in the Regis Room:
Wednesday, September 13 from 12:00 -1:00 p.m.
Thursday, September 14 from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Our training discussion will include:
an explanation of sexual harassment consistent with guidance issued by the Department of Labor in consultation with the Division of Human Rights
examples of conduct that would constitute unlawful sexual harassment
information concerning the federal and state statutory provisions concerning sexual harassment and remedies available to victims of sexual harassment
information regarding filing a complaint and all available forums for adjudicating complaints
information addressing conduct by supervisors and any additional responsibilities for such supervisors
information regarding our Title IX policies and protocols on campus

A little rain couldn’t dampen the excitement of Move-In Day 2023 on Wednesday, August 23 when Canisius welcomed the Class of 2027. The incoming class includes more than 600 first-year and transfer students – and marks the institution’s largest group of new Griffs in the last three years. The Class of 2027 is also comprised of 53 legacy students, whose parents or grandparents have graduated from Canisius, and several international and exchange students who hail from countries across the globe such as Australia, France, Germany, Nepal, Nigeria, South Korea and Spain.
Thanks to the efforts of Student Life and our student-athletes (below) – who lent so many helping hands – so that Move-In Day could go smoothly for students and their families.
Demonstrating that Canisius truly is one family, President Steve Stoute, his wife, Alison and their daughters, joined the Move-In Day activities (below) meeting and greeting with new students and their families, as they moved into their home-away-from-home in Bosch and Frisch Halls.
Wednesday’s Move-In Day was followed on Thursday with New Student Convocation, an annual tradition for the campus community to collectively celebrate and embrace our newest Griffs and their families. As part of the celebration, faculty and staff lined the entrance to the gym in the Koessler Athletic Center to cheer on the new students as they entered and provide a show of support as they begin their academic journey (below).
Move-In Day 2023 garnered the attention of the local media, which came to campus to capture the first class of Canisius University students unloading, unpacking and setting up their residence hall rooms. Channel 2 and the Buffalo News also spoke with President Steve Stoute about the excitement of a new academic year.
Associate Professor of Economics and Finance Julie Anna Golebiewski, PhD, spoke with The Buffalo News for two separate business stories related to Buffalo Niagara’s job market. In an August 22 article, titled“Local Unemployment Remains Low,” Golebiewski indicated that previously retired workers “may be returning to the workforce following a steep rise in prices over the past two years.” In August 17 article, titled “Buffalo Niagara Region’s Job Count Rose 2.7% in July,” Golebiewski noted that though a lack of available workers continues to dampen the region’s overall job growth, manufacturing is holding its own, “which is generally a good sign of the economy as a whole.”
