As the academic year draws to a close, Canisius spent the week celebrating and commemorating so many college traditions.
Pictured above are the 2023 graduates of the Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP), whom were recognized for their academic, social and campus engagement earlier this week. The seven seniors hail from WNY and NYC – and all that is in between. Five of the seven graduates are first generation college students.
Discovery, discernment and drive were all celebrated at the annual All-College Honors banquet (pictured above)! Thanks to all the Canisius professors and alumni in attendance. Their support enables the high achievements of the Honors Students to grow greater each year.
We also saluted the college’s ROTC cadets this week. The soon-to-be-commissioned students were recognized and revered at the Golden Griffin Battalion’s annual Military Ball. Canisius will commission five of its cadets as 2nd lieutenants on June 2. Hooah!
