Agency Account Forum

As previously communicated, via a campus wide Email in August, there will be a change in practice whereby expenses can only be charged to authorized operating budgets. This means the past practice of charging expenses directly to agency accounts or utilizing agency accounts to cover expenses over and above operating budgets is no longer permitted.

The Finance & Controller’s Offices will actively manage agency account balances and periodically initiate funding transfers to authorized operating budgets that align with the intended spending purpose.

A forum to discuss this change in practice and address questions will be held in the Faculty Lounge on Tuesday, September 17 at 2:30 p.m.

Lifelong Learners Look at the Bible as Literature

Canisius Adult Lifelong Learners Institute is pleased to announce our new fall 2024 course: The Literature of the Bible. Led by Professor Johanna Fisher (English), we will engage with it from a literary and historical perspective. A foundational text of Western civilization, the Bible is a treasure trove of narrative, poetry, and wisdom. This is not a theology course. We meet Tuesdays, September 17 to October 29! Visit our website for more information and to register: https://blogs.canisius.edu/icms/lifelong-learners-2021/ . See you there!
