Diverse spaces on campus

ALANA provides African American, Latinx American, Asian American and Native American (ALANA) students with various services that help students to succeed at Canisius and after they graduate. We strive towards the campus community goals of fostering, respecting, and exploring cultural differences. We assist the college in enhancing services for ALANA student communities, and we introduce the entire student population to issues involving cross-cultural patterns, participation in the life of the college, and self-concept concerns. While most services provided are co-curricular, we also serve as a referral and support unit regarding academic, financial, personal, and social matters.

The Center for Student Engagement and Leadership Development directs the creation and implementation of student clubs and organizations on campus. The office also provides resources and events for student leadership development.

Getting involved at Canisius College is your gateway to success! In and outside of the classroom events, campus activities, and leadership development all help shape a complete college experience. GriffNet is your one-stop shop to view club/organization profiles, see what's happening on campus today, and connect with important resources.

The student engagement and involvement guide is a catalog with an abundance of information and links on how students can become engaged and active in the Canisius Community. It includes clubs and organizations, leadership development, academic engagement, etc.

With a global footprint that spans almost every continent, opportunities at Canisius to learn what it means to be a global citizen are diverse. From course-related travel and study abroad to international service-immersions, Canisius students have an array of options to expand and inspire their worldview.
