Canisius’ commitment to environmental responsibility goes beyond campus borders.
This past weekend, faculty, staff and students from the Sustainability Committee rolled up their sleeves for an Earth Day cleanup in our neighboring Masten District.
Thank you to all who volunteered. Your efforts have a tangible impact on keeping our Canisius community – and the planet – clean and green.

The Human Resources Department is pleased to announce that Samantha Brennan is the Canisius University Employee of Distinction for March 2024! Samantha was nominated for the award by Malini Suchak.
At Canisius for 22 years, Samantha currently works as the assistant registrar for the Office of Student Records and Financial Services.
This is what Malini wrote about Sam in her nomination:
“I don’t know how this happens but every time I try to use Courseleaf to do anything, I somehow mess it up. Sam is always so kind and helpful and just gets everything straightened out. I am sure I am not the only one and it must get frustrating for her but she always just focuses on making it right (and not making me feel like an idiot for messing it up in the first place)”.
Please join the Human Resources Department in congratulating Grant on this achievement!
