Colleagues,

Please join us in welcoming our incoming class at our 3rd Annual New Student Convocation on Friday, August 22, at 3:00 p.m. in the Montantae Cultural Center! As a part of the event, new students will process in through two lines of faculty and staff.

All faculty and staff attending are encouraged to wear Canisius gear to show their Griff spirit!

New Student Convocation is a significant tradition marking the start of the fall semester for our incoming students. This special event commemorates the beginning of our students’ collegiate journey and celebrates their place within the Canisius community. It also symbolizes the University’s commitment to fostering meaningful connections among students, families, faculty, and staff.

Together, we will welcome our newest Golden Griffins and share in the pride of becoming part of this special community through this tradition that emphasizes academic excellence, service, and community.

We hope you will join us for this special event.
