Using PDFs uploaded to D2L, faculty can create Hypothes.is Assignments. This makes creating assignments much easier, as faculty do not need to go to Google Drive, upload files, and then go to D2L. As such, uploading PDFs to D2L has become our recommended way of creating Hyopthes.is Assignments.

Please join us on Friday, October 4 between 1:00 and 3:30 p.m. in the Andrew L. Bouwhuis, SJ Library for an animal origami Makerspace.
This event is co-hosted by Laudato Sí, our campus-wide sustainability group. We will welcome Judy Light from the Iroquois National Wildlife Center to our activity as she will lead us through the creation of animals and a discussion of regional wildlife. Laudato Sí supports this event as it marks the end of the Season of Creation and the Feast Day of Saint Francis!
For this year, the Season of Creation, (you may learn more at https://tinyurl.com/mry5f7hh ) theme is “To Hope and Act with Creation” and the symbol is “The first fruits of hope”, inspired by Romans 8:19-25.” (pictured here) 
In writing about this season, “We have decided to capitalize Creation for several reasons. Our theme this year emphasizes that Creation is not an object that has been created for human use, but rather a subject that we are called to relate to and collaborate with as fellow creatures. By capitalizing Creation, we refer to both the created order and the mystery of God’s continuing act of creation. We acknowledge the whole created order, or the whole cosmos, including all living and non-living parts of God’s Creation, showing our theological respect, reverence, accountability, and interdependence with the natural world.” (Season of Creation 2024, p. 13)
This event is supported by the kind and generous donations of Taheri and Todoro, PC and our Giving Day donors. It is open to all members of the Canisius community.

Every year, students from the Physician Assistant Studies program perform service to a number of local organizations in honor of our Health Equity Week.
This week of service coincides with annual PA Appreciation Week from October 6 -12.
Please keep your eyes peeled around campus for our efforts, and you can also help by donating items to the International Institute of Buffalo. Donation boxes can be found on the lower level of Science Hall near the living wall, or on the first floor of the library. Any contributions are greatly appreciated. We will be delivering these goods at the end of Health Equity Week.

On Monday, September 30, Canisius University will recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation also known as Orange Shirt Day. This day commemorates the residential school experience, witnessing and honoring the healing journey of the Survivors and their families. By wearing an orange shirt on September 30, you commit to the enduring truth that EVERY CHILD MATTERS, every day and everywhere.
We ask that members of our community wear an orange shirt (you may have received one from a previous years’ recognition). If you do not have an orange shirt, you can stop by the ALANA Student Center to pick one up. Sizes and quantities are limited and will be given away on a first come, first served basis.
Throughout the day we will have opportunities to learn more about the history of residential schools and the history behind the orange shirt. We look forward to seeing the community standing in solidarity with indigenous community. Please contact the ALANA Student Center at asc@canisius.edu with any questions or concerns.
