Do you know students who take pride in Canisius and would be great representatives of our campus? We’re looking for enthusiastic, engaged students to join our Student Ambassador Program!
Student ambassadors play a key role in welcoming prospective students and families, leading campus tours, assisting with admissions events and more. This is a great opportunity for students to develop leadership, public speaking and interpersonal skills while sharing what makes Canisius special. International students are encouraged to apply!
Please help us spread the word and encourage students to apply. Prospective ambassadors can scan the QR code on the attached flyer, visit the MyCanisius portal, or email wavotev@canisius.edu for more details.
Thank you for your support in helping us build a strong team of ambassadors!

Dr. Chirantana Mathkari, assistant professor of animal behavior, ecology, and conservation and anthrozoology, published an article titled “The Cow Paradox—A Scoping Review of Dairy Bovine Welfare in India Using the Five Freedoms” in Animals, an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal devoted entirely to animals.
Mathkari’s article analyzes the effects of socio-cultural norms on dairy cow and buffalo welfare in India, the largest producer and consumer of milk. Through her research, Mathkari argues that the compromised welfare of the animals presents itself as a paradoxical situation where the acclaimed sacrality of the cow shapes the welfare of the cows negatively, and nurtures a complete disregard for the welfare of the buffaloes, what Mathkari calls “the cow paradox.”
This study brings to light the largely ignored but crucial role that culturally shaped human influences play in the husbandry of dairy animals, creating grounds for studying the human-animal relationships through a holistic, interdisciplinary approach.
