ENGAGED STUDENTS
Canisius is all about opportunity. Our students benefit from experiences undergrads rarely enjoy. They conduct real-world research and take part in major conferences. They practice their skills in internships where they do real work. They explore multiple areas of interest with faculty members who are true experts in their fields. They have a chance to make a name for themselves…
Real-world opportunities Research. A junior biology major recently received an undergraduate research fellowship from the American Society of Plant Biology, and will present his work at the group’s international meeting. At Canisius this is not at all unusual – students in math, science, psychology and other fields engage in meaningful hands-on research all the time. They regularly attend and present at major conferences, and publish papers in professional journals. Field research has taken students to South Dakota, Ontario, Costa Rica, Bhutan, the Himalayas, the Galapagos Islands and many other locales. One group produced a national award-winning video on elephants in Sri Lanka. Internships. At Canisius, we believe so strongly in the value of internships, we have a full-time director on the job. Our location in New York State’s second largest city means real-world opportunities are practically limitless. And not just here – Canisius students also intern out of town, out of state and even out of the country. Just think what you could learn at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., the U.S. Consulate in Krakow, Poland, businesses in Germany, or the set of “The Young and the Restless” in L.A. Service-learning. Service to the community is embedded in our philosophy and culture as a Jesuit institution. And, with the economic and social issues typical of cities, Buffalo offers many ways to contribute. In any given semester, you’ll find 50+ faculty members guiding hundreds of students from more than 70 class sections as they apply their classroom learning to a wide variety of endeavors. Business students plan, organize and manage a project to benefit a not-for-profit. Education students transform a barren elementary school courtyard into an urban oasis/outdoor teaching environment.
