Operation Snowbound is a unique program designed by the Office of Residence Life that provides Canisius College commuter students the opportunity to experience living on campus. Students will share a room with a roommate and become an integral part of the residence hall community. Avoid the cold and snow or winter, retreat to the warmth of friends and new experiences. Be SNOWBOUND with us!
