On Thursday, January 25, President Stoute announced that Canisius will invest $1 million over the next five years to fund innovative concepts and practices that have the potential to advance the university’s strategic agenda and achieve verifiable positive outcomes for students.
This opportunity is made possible by alumni and donors who responded in remarkable ways over the past year by investing in the President’s Innovation Fund. The fund enables donors to make unrestricted gifts to support initiatives with the greatest potential to move Canisius forward.
The Resource Council of WNY is looking to revamp its Saturday youth programming and would like Canisius’ help!
If there are any groups, student clubs or departments interested in leading unique and engaging workshops, arts and crafts classes, STEM based activities or sports clinics, the Resource Council wants your help!
The commitment can be for one Saturday for an hour or two, or recurring.
If you are interested or have any students who may want to learn more about the opportunity, please reach out to Shana Richardson, director of the New Buffalo Institute, with questions or for more details.

The Andrew L. Bouwhuis, SJ, Library is hosting the exhibit Immigration in New York State, 1650-1950 throughout the month of February.
This exhibit focuses on European immigration to New York State from 1650 to 1950, beginning with the arrival of Dutch settlers and continuing through the end of the World Wars. Immigrants have come to New York State for many reasons: to escape persecution, to improve their economic outlook and to build new lives. Even in a state and nation built by immigrants, new arrivals were not always welcomed. Despite challenges and injustices, immigrants’ experiences, knowledge and cultures have enriched our state and shaped our history, and will continue to build a vibrant, diverse and modern New York State.
The exhibit is on display on the main floor of the library and made possible by the Empire State Library Network and the WNY Library Resources Council.
