Over the past year, we’ve heard from faculty and staff that they’d love more opportunities to connect with colleagues across campus. From casual gatherings and social events to wellness activities and other community-building opportunities, there’s a lot of interest in bringing people together.
To help make that happen, we’re looking for faculty and staff who would be interested in joining an Employee Engagement Committee. This group will help brainstorm ideas, plan activities, and create opportunities for our campus community to connect and have fun.
Whether you’re full of ideas or simply looking for a way to get more involved, we’d love to have you join us!
Interested? Complete the interest form below:

We hope you’ll consider being part of creating even more opportunities for connection, collaboration, and community at Canisius.

As we move through the summer months, please remember that Canisius University parking regulations remain in effect year-round.
All vehicles parked in campus lots should be registered and parked in the appropriate lot for their permit type. Canisius uses License Plate Recognition, so your license plate serves as your virtual parking permit.
Parking information, including permit types, lot locations, regulations, and citation details, can be found online at:
https://www.canisius.edu/admissions/registration-transcripts/accounts-billing/parking-permits
More information will be shared soon about the 2026–2027 virtual parking permit registration process.
Questions? Please contact parking@canisius.edu.

As a reminder, in keeping with our Jesuit value of Caring for Our Common Home, we have created a space where you can donate unwanted office supplies or browse available items before making a new purchase. We encourage you to check the space first—you may find something you need while helping reduce waste and promote sustainability across campus.
Located in Churchill Tower, Room 201, this space provides an opportunity to give new life to office supplies and materials that are no longer needed but still have value. You are welcome to drop off items you no longer use and browse for supplies that may meet your needs.
This is our way of creating a “Buy Nothing- Free Cycle” space at Canisius. Everything in the room is available to take at no cost.
The door will remain unlocked, so you are free to access the space at your convenience.
Please feel free to rearrange items to make space for yours. We will adjust as we go!

Denim Day is observed worldwide to show support for survivors of sexual violence. It originated after an Italian court overturned a perpetrator’s conviction with the justification that the woman’s jeans were so tight they would have been impossible to remove them without her assistance.
In response, women of the Italian parliament wore jeans to work the following day in solidarity with the survivor and in protest of the ruling, helping spark what has become and international day of awareness and support.
Please join the entire community by wearing jeans, and your ‘Griffs Supporting Griffs’ T-shirt if you have one, on Wednesday, April 29th.
