Welcome to the website for the Office of the President.
Canisius celebrates its more than 140 years of tradition with optimism, hope and great expectations to provide a quality education in the tradition of St. Ignatius Loyola, St. Peter Canisius and the rich spirituality of the Society of Jesus. We look to build on these Jesuit principles as we strive to make Canisius one of the top regional, comprehensive universities in North America.
Emphasis on community-based learning allows our students to practice what our esteemed faculty teach in the classroom. At Canisius, we know that learning doesn’t take place merely through books and exams. It is further realized in the real-world settings of soup kitchens, community based non-profit organizations and boardrooms across our community.
With more than $150 million of capital investment in the campus, we are well positioned to meet the needs of our students to provide them with a quality educational experience that makes them outstanding contributors to our society and well-rounded, just individuals. And, the rapid expansion of technology allows us to achieve this goal in ways never dreamed of by those who came before us.
I invite you to explore Canisius College through our website to learn more about our mission, values and tradition of academic excellence.
John J. Hurley
President
