President Steve Stoute shared a sobering critique of contemporary collegiate sports during a recent panel discussion titled “The Cultural and Economic Impact of Sports,” hosted by the University of Toledo and The Toledo Blade newspaper. Stoute warned that fundamental educational values are being eroded by increasing commercialization. He was joined on the panel by such prominent sports figures as Kansas City Chiefs hall-of-famer Nick Lowery and former NFL quarterback Andrew Luck. Watch the full discussion. Read the recap in The Toledo Blade.
The Buffalo News and WGRZ-TV Channel 2 both reported on Canisius welcoming its largest spring freshman class in more than a decade. As previously communicated, new freshmen enrolling at Canisius this spring are at the highest rate since 2012, with new first-year students up 75% over 2024 and 133% over 2023. Read the full story in Canisius’ News Center.
Classroom projector bulbs are surprisingly expensive! Depending on the model, they can cost as much as $400 and have a limited lifespan. Leaving projectors on and unused for long periods of time can burn these bulbs out prematurely and apply heat wear on the projectors themselves, shortening the life of the whole machine.
At the end of your class, event or other classroom use, if the projector is on, please turn it off to conserve projectors and bulbs and help save money. While it may seem considerate to leave a projector on if you think someone will use it later in the day, classes are canceled or moved frequently enough that this isn’t as helpful as it seems.
Classroom projectors, as well as other classroom technologies are maintained by our Media Center, who are happy to help faculty with classroom IT needs. For more information, read the guide to all the classrooms on campus, which include instructions on how to operate each projector. The Media Center can also record a quick tutorial around specific questions concerning a particular classroom. Contact the Media by emailing helpdesk@canisius.edu.
