All Canisius faculty and staff members are invited to attend the next Town Hall Meeting with President John Hurley and the vice presidents tomorrow, Tuesday, November 5 in the Grupp Fireside Lounge from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m.
This Town Hall will be a series of roundtable discussions with President Hurley and the vice presidents. It will give vice presidents a chance to talk about some of the key priorities in each respective area and discuss, as a smaller group, any thoughts or questions. We will do these in 15-minute intervals to give participants an opportunity to speak with several groups. As we found last time, this led to a number of informative and engaging conversations and we look forward to doing this again.
