On behalf of the Canisius Earning Excellence Program (CEEP) Review and Recommendation Committee, Jenn Lodi-Smith, PhD, assistant vice president for academic affairs, is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2023-24 CEEP Scholarships.
The scholarships were granted to 64 students with 42 faculty members serving as mentors. The list of this year’s recipients, faculty mentors and their projects are listed above and can also be viewed by clicking here .
CEEP is an exciting learning and earning opportunity that pairs students with Canisius faculty for educational and rewarding experiences. These positions are intellectually demanding, create opportunities for applied learning outside the classroom, are closely related to a career or scholarly field and directly related to faculty scholarship. By working with faculty on research-focused projects, students are able to achieve a high level of preparedness for maintaining professional working relationships and for continued studies at the graduate level.
Congratulations to all the recipients!

On Monday, April 3, the Strategic Planning and Prioritization Committee held a forum in which we presented the draft of the 2023-29 Canisius strategic plan. The recording of that forum is available in the Canisius Portal. You can view it by logging into myCanisius and looking for the Strategic Planning and Prioritization Forum Widget. The committee has made many refinements to the strategic plan draft based on comments and input throughout the process. We would value additional comments, suggestions, or feedback as we finalize the plan to send to the Board of Trustees and provide a survey for your feedback. The survey will close today, Wednesday, April 19 at midnight.
Thank you for helping plan for the future of Canisius.

As a result of the 2018 campus climate study, Canisius College developed and implemented its first racial equity strategic plan. The college has been taking steps to cultivate a thriving academic community, one where each individual feels welcome and able to contribute their full selves to the work and study that takes place here.
To that end, part of our racial equity strategic plan is to continue to learn how the campus community sees itself and what goals might be formed to help us to continue to become more inclusive.
We are hoping that you will participate in the 2023 Campus Climate Survey and provide us with your feedback. The survey itself should take five minutes. It is completely anonymous and we will only be using a summary of responses in the survey-based reports.
The survey can be accessed at https://canisius.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6WH2amjyCNYXt5Q and it will be open until 2pm today, Monday, April 3rd.
We appreciate your assistance with this effort.

On Thursday afternoon, the Strategic Planning and Prioritization Committee held a forum in which we presented the draft of the strategic pillars and some bulleted objectives for each. We also presented several cross-cutting themes that exist within each pillar that you won’t see explicitly referenced. These include Jesuit mission; Diversity, equity, and inclusion; Athletics as a vehicle for education, campus culture, engagement, enrollment; Sustainability–both environmental and institutional; Enrollment and retention; and Financial stability and resources (grants, fundraising, scholarships, etc.). We then asked attendees to provide feedback on our pillars and objectives.
For anyone who could not attend, we wanted to provide the opportunity to contribute at this stage of the process by commenting on our draft pillars and some objectives. We have created a survey to collect objectives from any member of the community. The survey is available at https://forms.gle/EshFGCwwncg5ZYqX9. Responses are completely anonymous, so the survey is limited to the Canisius community (please note that you are required be logged into your google drive through Canisius). The survey will remain open through 5pm on Wednesday, March 8th.
Thank you for considering contributing.
