Want your event to reach more people?
More than 30 digital displays across campus have been updated with new features to spotlight campus events and announcements.
Faculty, staff, and students can easily share their event or club information to appear on TVs throughout campus.
To maximize visibility, events created in GriffConnect are automatically shared with all students, faculty, and staff—appearing on campus digital displays and in Today@Canisius.
Submitting your event is simple and requires the use of GriffConnect, a tool now available to everyone. Follow the steps below to get started:
Log In at https://griffconnect.canisius.edu/
Use your Canisius credentials to log on to GriffConnect.
Note: If this is your first time logging in, you’ll be prompted to complete a quick onboarding process.

Physical Flyers Update
As we continue to transition to paperless advertising, physical flyers are still permitted, but the number of approved posting locations in the tunnel has decreased. Starting this year there are only 5 approved posting locations throughout the tunnels. In addition, we can also post up to 40 flyers in the residence halls. All flyers must be approved before they are displayed. Bring flyers to the Center for Student Engagement and Leadership Development (Student Center 201) for approval. Our team will take care of hanging up the flyers for you!

The Higher Education Leadership and Administration (HELA) graduate students are cosponsoring a holiday toy drive with the Office of Mission and Ministry. HELA students are focused on doing good works to help those in our neighborhood. This toy drive is for the Resource Council of WNY, located less than one mile from campus. After the toy drive ends on campus, donations will be dropped off to the community partner, and on Saturday, Dec. 14, the toys collected from the Canisius Community will be given out to our neighborhood community.
In the season of giving, in the City of Good Neighbors, please consider buying a new toy for a child who might not receive one otherwise. The drive started Monday, Dec. 2, and concludes Tuesday, Dec. 10. You will see the toy donation boxes decorated by kids, in the Old Main faculty lounge, the ALANA Student Center and Christ the King Chapel.
If you have questions, reach out to Tiare Baird (baird4@canisisus.edu) or Phil Reutter (reutterp@canisius.edu).
