Welcome to Flashback Fridays!

It’s Flashback Friday! 

Each Friday we will include historical facts about the college in The Dome, on Facebook and Twitter.  Flashback Fridays are another part of our yearlong Sesquicentennial celebration, which culminates in 2020 when Canisius turns 150 years old.

Flashback to September 1961 – Eight young women became the first female students to enroll in the day division at Canisius College.  Four years later, Canisius opened its doors to women in all academic day divisions.

Students and faculty mingle at the Classics Tea@2 on Friday, September 6.

Classics Tea@2 is a relaxed get together that involves eating pastries, drinking copious amounts of various teas and enjoying good conversation. Normally, Classics Tea@2 is held in the new Institute for Classical and Medieval Studies (ICMS) reading room in OM 418, but it was moved to the fourth floor Commons so the ICMS room could begin its upgrade to an enjoyable gathering space.

A reminder that the Classics Tea@2 this Friday, September 13 is cancelled. Join us instead for ICMS’s Tea & Talk in Grupp Fireside Lounge that day at 2 p.m. Classics Tea@2 will pick up again next week on September 20. See you there!
