2026-2027 CEEP Award Recipients

On behalf of Canisius Earning Excellence Program (CEEP) Review and Recommendation Committee, Yvonne Widenor, assistant professor of art history, is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2026-27 CEEP Scholarships.

The scholarships were granted to 40 students with 24 faculty members serving as mentors. The list of this year’s recipients are listed above and can also be viewed by clicking here.

CEEP is an exciting learning and earning opportunity that pairs students with Canisius faculty for educational and rewarding experiences. These positions are intellectually demanding, create opportunities for applied learning outside the classroom, are closely related to a career or scholarly field and directly related to faculty scholarship. By working with faculty on research-focused projects, students are able to achieve a high level of preparedness for maintaining professional working relationships and for continued studies at the graduate level.

Congratulations to all the recipients!

PA Studies Program Donates Life-Saving Training Tool to Catholic Health

Healthcare professionals training at Catholic Health now have a powerful new training tool at their disposal, courtesy of Canisius University.  On April 7, the university’s Physician Assistant Studies Program donated a high-fidelity medical simulation mannequin to Catholic Health Clinical Education.  The equipment is capable of replicating real patient emergencies to help clinicians sharpen critical, potentially life-saving skills.  

“This mannequin has been a remarkable teaching tool for our students, helping them develop the clinical skills and confidence they need to deliver exceptional patient care,” said Aimee Larson, DMSc, PA-C, chair and program director of PA Studies at Canisius.  “It felt only right to extend its impact by placing it with an organization doing such important work for our community.  We couldn’t think of a better home for it.”     

Medical simulation mannequins are sophisticated, lifelike training tools used throughout healthcare education to replicate real patient scenarios — from routine assessments to high-stakes emergency situations. They allow clinicians and students to build and refine critical skills in a safe, controlled environment, without risk to actual patients.
