The campus community is invited to watch The Dome for special “Trivia Wednesdays”
which will be published throughout the school year in every Wednesday edition.
The first person to respond to pubrel@canisius.edu
with the correct answer will win Canisius “swag.” Additionally, once a month on
Wednesdays, there will be a special giveaway in which the winner will receive
some of the newly-designed Canisius Sesquicentennial gear.
Winners will be announced the following Wednesday of
each week along with the correct trivia answer.
This
week’s giveaway question is:

1990 gave which of the following to the college as its senior class gift:

The Division of Student Affairs, Chartwells and the Undergraduate Student Association (USA) have joined forces to reenvision the food pantry on campus. As a result, Petey’s Pantry, located in Palisano Pavilion 002, is now open. Created to combat food insecurity and provide a place where students facing hunger can receive help, Petey’s Pantry is open this fall on Fridays from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m., Sundays from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. and Tuesdays from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Canisius is a member of the College & University
Food Bank Alliance (CUFBA), a network of campus food pantries that
connect, support and share resources in the vital work of serving students with
food insecurity.
Donations to Petey’s Pantry can be made in the form
of a check made payable to “Canisius College” during the Thanksgiving Sit-Down
Dinner on November 20 from 4:30 p.m. – 7 p.m. in the Economou Dining Hall. In
addition, donations are graciously accepted in Campus Ministry, Old Main Room
207. Personal hygiene products are also being collected, but food donations are
not at this time.
Please contact Mike Hayes, director of Campus
Ministry, at Ext. 2420, if you have further questions.
Coming soon – Swipe out Hunger, an initiative that
allows students to donate two meal “swipes” to a bank that will be allocated to
fellow students in need.

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 November 1978 – Jack Kemp, representative of the 38th District of New
York in the U.S. Congress from 1971-1989, lectured at Canisius on November 8,
1978 as part of the William H. Fitzpatrick Chair of Political Science Lecture
Series.
