Jesse, Justin and Olivia have each created their own unique path. Hear what these Griffs have to say about their college experience!

“Canisius is great because they give you the opportunity to get into the classroom right away from your freshman year.”

“Not only are you learning finance theory and applications, but you’re actually getting hands-on experience.”

“When I came to Canisius, I wanted to do sociology because it’s so broad, and with psychology, I got to learn a little more about the individual.”
