Our colleague, Sarah Sterzinger, will be leaving Canisius as she has accepted a new job at the University at Buffalo. Her last day will be Tuesday, Jan. 21.
Sarah has been an integral part of the Advancement team for over six years, and her contributions have been invaluable. She has worn all the hats during her time on the Alumni & Constituent Engagement team while supporting many functions including regional chapter recruitment, event management, social media strategy and so much more. We will certainly miss her positive attitude and blue-and-gold spirit at George Martin Hall, but we know she will continue to do great things in her new position and join us for future alumni events.
Please join me in congratulating Sarah for her years of dedication and service at a farewell happy hour on Thursday, Jan. 16, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in the George Martin Hall lobby area.
Thank you, Sarah, for all your support at Canisius University over the past 6 years. We will miss you!
