Save the Date! On Wednesday, Sept. 24, from noon to 2 PM, representatives from Go Buffalo Niagara and the East Side Bike Club as well as members of our campus community invite you to Campus Bike Day. This event will include bike helmet and bike lock giveaways, a free bike repair station, free food, smoothies created by a blender bike, and information about free memberships to Reddy BikeShare. Set up is in the Quad near Loyola Hall, and we invite all members of our campus community to sign up for the event and enter an e-bike raffle here. We will have one e-bike for one student and one for a faculty/staff member who sign up before the event.
This event is funded through Canisius’ participation in the Clean Mobility Project and the generous support of NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority).
Canisius University Professor and Associate Dean Mark R. Harrington MS ’10, MS ’22, EdD, is the 2025 recipient of the Magis Award for Excellence in Leadership. Conferred by the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities’ (AJCU) network for Jesuit Student Success, the award honors an individual who demonstrates excellence in their leadership of people, programs and practices and whose dedication and commitment have had a significant impact on the academic and personal success of students. AJCU recognized Harrington, specifically, for integrating Ignatian values into his work to create an environment that fosters growth, motivation and achievement in students and faculty, alike.
“Dr. Harrington’s visionary leadership as the founding chair and president of the AJCU Student Success Network exemplifies the Ignatian ideal of Magis—striving for the greater good,” says Andy Wilson, PhD, senior associate vice president of student success at Loyola University Chicago. “His diligence and commitment to equity, collaboration, and student-centered innovation have laid a foundation that will uplift generations across Jesuit institutions.”
Colleagues across the Jesuit network nominated Harrington for his innovative strategies, unwavering support of colleagues, and passion for student success, which has inspired students to reach their full potential and thrive both inside and outside the classroom. Additionally, his colleagues applauded his demonstrated leadership, building upon the Jesuit Student Success Network, laying the foundation through initiatives such as the creation of our constitution and executive board, while staying true to the grassroots origins.
Harrington served as the founding chair and inaugural president of the Jesuit Student Success Network when it was established in 2023 for the purpose of sharing strategies and best practices across the network’s 27 member institutions. In this role, he set the tone for a culture of shared leadership and responsibility for the Ignatian mission, developing opportunities for professional growth for his Jesuit colleagues.
Please join us for one of Canisius’ annual Jesuit traditions at the Mass of the Holy Spirit on Wednesday, September 10, at 10 a.m. in Christ the King Chapel.
All members of the campus community are welcome, regardless of their faith tradition. The academic calendar includes a special break in the class schedule so that all members of our campus community (students, faculty, and staff) have the opportunity to attend and participate in the Mass. Classes that usually meet on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during this time do not meet on September 10. Classes that typically meet on Wednesday only or on a Monday and Wednesday pattern will still meet on this day.
Part of our tradition includes a formal procession of faculty members from the Faculty Lounge through the quad in academic regalia. Faculty members interested in participating in the academic procession should be at the Old Main Faculty Lounge by 9:40 a.m. and complete the RSVP form. Faculty can process in their own regalia. Like last year, a limited number of doctoral gowns and regalia is available through our office by contacting Kira Varada (varadak@canisius.edu)
After the mass, brunch will be served in the Richard E. Winter ’42 Student Center Economou Dining Hall. For planning purposes, please complete thisRSVP form.
