Water service will be temporarily shut off in Old Main, Churchill Tower and the Health Science Building on Wednesday, August 5, from 6:00 a.m. to approximately 4:00 p.m. to allow for the replacement of two fire hydrants as part of the Jefferson Project Phase 1. Bagen Hall and the Andrew L. Bouwhuis Library may also experience a temporary loss of water service.
During the outage, water, restrooms, and drinking fountains will be unavailable in affected buildings. Faculty and staff working in these buildings should bring drinking water and plan accordingly. Operations at The Market and Tim Hortons may also be affected. The cooling system in the Health Science Building will be shut down during the outage because it relies on the city’s water supply.
A detailed email with additional information has been sent to faculty and staff. In the event of an emergency during the outage, contact Campus Safety at Ext. 2330. Facilities will provide an update once water service has been restored.

Students in Canisius University’s AUDIT Lab have published their second research briefing examining artificial intelligence adoption in the internal audit profession. Produced in collaboration with Cherry Hill Advisory, the study draws on responses from more than 3,000 internal audit professionals across 60 countries and identifies a growing gap between rapid AI adoption and the governance structures needed to support its responsible use. The research also introduces practitioner “adaptation personas” to help organizations better tailor AI training and implementation strategies.
The publication features AUDIT Lab Fellows Reilly Boyer ’25, Kelly Crous ’27, Ashley Hedges ’26, Keegan Langefels ’26, Bryce McCarthy ’27, Justin Morabito ’27 and Bella Peters ’28 alongside faculty and research collaborators.
Congratulations to the students on this latest publication!
