Canisius Students, Alums, Professor Honored at Annual Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance Conference

Students and faculty from the Physical and Health Education Teacher Education (P/HETE) program attended the 86th annual New York State Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (NYS AHPERD) conference, held Thursday, Nov. 21, through Saturday, Nov. 23, in Verona, NY.

Current teacher candidates Alexis Deluca and Jackson Strong along with Catherine Quinlan MS ’24 were honored as P/HETE Major Award Winners during the Amazing Persons Ceremony on Thursday. Just two undergraduate students and one graduate student are given this award for outstanding performance related to their preparation for the health, physical education, recreation or dance professions.

Additionally, four noteworthy P/HETE alums received awards for their efforts in K-12 health and physical education. Shelby Grigg-Hosmer, John Strong, Jonathan Connelly and Timothy Mondello all took home Amazing Person honors. John Strong and his wife, Kelly, are both alums of Canisius P/HETE and former student-athletes. Their son, Jackson, mentioned above, is a Canisius outfielder and was recently selected by the Detroit Lyons during the Major League Baseball draft.

Alum Brianne Blaszak was awarded Middle School Physical Educator of the Year award at the Jay B. Nash Banquet Friday evening, and Canisius professor Clancy Seymour received the Distinguished Service Award, one of NYS AHPERD’s highest honors. 

The conference culminated with fireworks to mark the 100th anniversary of the organization.

New Companion Newsletter for The Dome is Coming Sept. 25

The Dome is the go-to source for university news and updates for Canisius faculty and staff, and University Communications is excited to announce a reimagined companion Email newsletter that better meets your needs.

The Dome newsletter has been redesigned to help you find the most important Canisius news, updates and events. Featured stories from The Dome put the top posts and need-to-know context at your fingertips. New categories, such as “Canisius in the News” and “Working at Canisius,” sort additional items, helping you quickly find other items of interest at a glance. And elevated direction to submit your own posts to The Dome makes it easier to share with your colleagues and contribute to the university’s story.

The Dome newsletter is built on the Benchmark email platform that’s already in use by other units at Canisius. This platform not only offers important insights into what stories readers are most interested in, but also allows for faster updates to The Dome on the web, making it an even more authoritative source for up-to-date information about working at Canisius.

The new employee newsletter experience will arrive in inboxes on Wednesday, Sept. 25. Whether you like to take your time with each new story or you just need the headlines before carrying on with your packed schedule, The Dome Newsletter has been thoughtfully built to add more value to your inbox.
