Huge Weekend for Men’s Basketball

Canisius Men’s Basketball hosts Quinnipiac in the KAC at 7:00 p.m. tonight, Friday, December 1, for their MAAC Opener.

Quinnipiac is 5-1 on the season but the Griffs are winners of three of the last four games. Both teams are playing extremely well and it should be a great match-up. Stop by the Griff-mas Sale on Friday at the Koessler Athletic Center from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. for an exclusive ticket offer. 

Of particular note, the match-up in the post between Canisius’s reigning MAAC Player of the Week, Frank Mitchell and Quinnipiac’s Paul Otieno should be incredible.

Then, make sure to come back to the KAC on Sunday, December 3 as Canisius hosts St. Peter’s at 1:00 P.M. The game is a “We win, you win” with free rewards from Tim Hortons if Canisius beats the Peacocks.

The Alpha Sigma Nu Honor Society of Jesuit Colleges and Universities extends its heartiest congratulations to its new Alpha Sigma Nu inductees. A total of 15 students and one Honoree were inducted at the Alpha Sigma Nu Induction Ceremony on Wednesday, November 29 2023 in Christ the King Chapel. (Three were unable to attend the ceremony: Mary Helen Nowotarski, Nejla Reggero and Haley Welch.)

Alpha Sigma Nu recognizes those students who distinguish themselves in scholarship, loyalty and service. The only honor society permitted to bear the name Jesuit, Alpha Sigma Nu encourages its members to a lifetime pursuit of intellectual development, deepening Ignatian spirituality, service to others, and a commitment to the core principles of Jesuit education. Selection to Alpha Sigma Nu is one of the highest honors awarded to students in the top 15% of the class on a Jesuit campus.

Career Partners International Final Session

Please join us on Thursday, December 7, from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m., for the final session of our professional development series.  Hosted by Career Partners International, the series is open to all faculty and staff.

Session 4: Navigating Procrastination and Managing your Time Effectively

Description: 

We all experience lack of motivation and focus from time to time. Many of us believe that we have to improve our mindset or that we’re just lazy, but these emotional states have deeper meanings behind them. We’ll discuss the WHY behind these tactics and how we can begin to navigate and shift into productivity, excitement, and flow more easily. Participants will also complete a time assessment, understanding where they spend their time on a daily basis, to identify where they can create change.
