Campion Hall Intercultural Residence Hall Opens
Forty-eight Canisius students from around the world, including the U.S., are now in the college’s new Intercultural Living Center in Campion Hall following the building’s extensive $2.1 million renovation.
"Canisius is very excited to make this unique living opportunity available to our international students," said Matthew H. Mulville '88, MS '94, director of residence life and associate dean of students. “The Campion Hall living quarters are designed to foster interaction among the many cultures at Canisius, and promote global awareness and personal growth among students.”
Campion Hall now features bedroom suites and singles, a spacious kitchen, computer lab and study area, and is wired with the same technology housed in the college's other residence facilities. The center’s new residents hail from Trinidad, South Korea, Germany, France, England, Sweden, Japan, the Dominican Republic, Jordan and the United States. Special programming with an international flair is being developed for residents. For more information, click here to visit the News and Events page.
Leadership Walkway Bricks Engraved
Neither rain, nor snow, nor feet will wipe away the benefactor names, now engraved in the bricks and pavers of the Quadrangle's new Leadership Walkway. Etched in stone this summer, the engraved names serve as a permanent tribute to those donors who purchased a brick or paver in support of the college's scholarship, academic and endowed programs.
Completed in August 2002, the Leadership Walkway is an impressive brick path that connects Koessler Plaza, behind Old Main, with Christ the King Chapel. Wayne '51 and Helen Reilly were the first to purchase a brick on Leadership Walkway and are among 26 other alumni and friends who also left a personal legacy on the path.
The newly-engraved bricks and pavers lie in the quadrant adjacent to the St. Peter Canisius statue. They were engraved by Galle Memorial Studio Inc., of which Richard J. Zinter '78 serves as vice president and treasurer. To purchase a Leadership Walkway brick or paver or for more information, contact Valerie Warren at Ext. 2715 or via Email at warrenv@canisius.edu.

The college will be closed, except for essential operating personnel, on Monday, September 1 in observance of the Labor Day holiday.
