The Canisius campus came back to life on Friday, August 23 when the university’s newest Griffs moved into their residence halls. A huge shout-out to all the student-athletes who helped make move-in day so seamless for students and their families.
And it was all smiles on the faces of our newest #Griffs during New Student Convocation (below). The ceremony celebrates the start of their college careers at Canisius and all that they will accomplish. Thank you to everyone who attended and rallied for our first-year and transfer students as they begin their journey.
Canisius University’s newest Griffs moved in to their residence halls on Friday, August 23. Buffalo News Photographer Derek Gee captured a few of the golden moments for the newspaper. His images can by viewed here. WGRZ-TV Channel 2 also reported on this year’s move in. That story can be viewed here.
The Canisius University Contemporary Writers Series is excited to announce that Clair Wills will be the featured speaker at the 20th annual Hassett Reading. Wills is the King Edward VII Professor of English Literature at the University of Cambridge. Her lecture, which is free and open to the public, is scheduled for Tuesday, October 8 at 7:00 p.m. in the Montante Cultural Center; doors open at 6:30 p.m. Wills lecture will be followed by a question-and-answer session and reception.
Clair Wills is renowned for her contributions to literature and history. Her acclaimed works include “Lovers and Strangers: An Immigrant History of Post-War Britain,” which received the Irish Times International Non-Fiction Book of the Year Award. Wills is also the author of “That Neutral Island: A Cultural History of Ireland During the Second World War,” recipient of a PEN Hessell-Tiltman History Prize. Her most recent book, “Missing Persons, or, My Grandmother’s Secrets,” is part memoir, part social history, and “explores the holes in the fabric of modern Ireland, and in her own family story.”
Please join ArtsCanisius as it begins its yearly schedule of events with an art exhibit and reception. “Sarah Tulin: Charismatic Fauna, A Retrospective” will open on Thursday, September 5 in the Peter A. and Mary Lou Vogt Gallery in the Andrew L. Bouwhuis, SJ Library and will feature oil paintings created by Associate Professor Sarah Tulin from our Biology Department. According to Tulin, “These paintings are all from my independent art classes in high school where my inspiring teacher, Pat Carr, taught me how to capture colors, shadows, and reflections. I remember spending weeks trying to imbue eyes with life!”
We are grateful to exhibit her paintings and invite you to a reception on Friday, September 6 from 2:00 to 3:00 PM in the Andrew L. Bouwhuis, SJ Library where Dr. Tulin will talk about her artistic practice. Light refreshments will be served. These paintings will be on view until mid-October.
