Canisius University is committed to a campus culture of respect, inclusion, and care for all members of the community.
Guided by our Jesuit values, this commitment reflects the university’s dedication to cura personalis, care for the whole person. Central to this commitment is the Bias Resource and Response Team (BRRT), a university committee devoted to campus-wide education and the promotion of best practices involving institutional and individual violations of the university’s policies and values.
The BRRT is comprised of faculty and staff volunteers who dedicate their time and expertise to supporting our campus community.
We are pleased to welcome the newest members:
Sierra Bonerb, Director, Support Services, Griff Center
Sarah Blakely-McClure, Assistant Professor, Psychology
Audrey Browka, Director, Public Relations
Corey Damon, Assistant Professor, Chemistry & Biochemistry
The Buffalo News and WBEN-AM Radio 930 reported on Canisius University receiving a $1 million HECap matching grant from New York State. The funding will support the second phase of renovations to Old Main, the university’s primary academic building, modernizing classrooms and collaborative spaces with state-of-the-art technology. Work is scheduled to begin in spring 2026.
Join the maker space for a hands-on Faculty Lunch and Learn session featuring Dye Sublimation, a creative technique that allows you to transfer full-color designs onto fabric and other suitable materials.
Date: Friday, Nov. 14 Time: Noon to 1 PM Location: Old Main 401
During this session, you will:
Learn how dye sublimation works and what makes it unique
Experiment with real equipment in the Makerspace
Opportunity to create your own custom dye-sublimation T-shirt
While we do have some shirts available, it is recommended that you bring your own light-colored apparel. Minimum 60% polyester, although a higher percentage is preferable.
Below are some links to T-shirts and products that would work with dye sublimation:
The Multicultural Center and Campus Ministry are hosting a Multicultural Friendsgiving Potluck on Wednesday, Nov. 19, from 5 to 7 PM in Grupp to celebrate the diverse cultures we have on campus through food, gratitude, and community. We are looking for participants to bring a dish to pass, joining several students and student groups who will be cooking cultural-specific dishes. The aim is to share dishes that are important to you and your family: If you could bring a dish to share with your family, what would it be?
Additionally, we are collecting donations for Petey’s Pantry, as food insecurity in the United States is increasing with the suspension of several federally-funded programs. In line with the Jesuit tenets of Cura Personalis, we hope to support all through these uncertain times. The items Petey’s Pantry is looking for can be found via Petey’s Pantry Website.
DEADLINE: If you are interested in participating to bring a dish to pass, please complete this form by Friday, November 14 Multicultural Friendsgiving Potluck.
