We buried Moses the Griffalo under hundreds of thousands of sheets of discarded and wasted paper printed and collected in the Library during the week of Earth Day 2009. The project successfully illustrated the need for paper printing accountability and conservation on campus and resulted in the implementation of the current student printing policy. 

The sixth annual Ignatian Scholarship Day will be held on Friday, April 19 at various venues on campus including Bouwhuis Library.

The Canisius College Spring Archives Speaker Series is pleased to announce the Spring Presentation, Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 2:30 pm.

Christine Anne George, JD, MSIS will present The Past That Has Yet to Pass: Archives and The Belfast Project. The Belfast Project captures the dark period of Northern Irish history known as “The Troubles.” Ms. George will discuss this oral history project conducted by Boston College…a project that has been in the news since May 2011 when US attorneys subpoenaed the College for oral history interview tapes, and began an ensuing legal battle that reaches to the Supreme Court. This past month, The Belfast Project has been back in the spotlight on both sides of the Atlantic with the death of Delours Price, whose oral history interview sparked debate on possession of the interviews, ramifications for the Northern Irish Peace Process, and the future of archival privilege and archives.

Western New York’s Brian Castner will read from his critically acclaimed book, The Long Walk : A Story of War and the Life that Follows, in Andrew L. Bouwhuis, S.J. Library, on Monday, November 12 at 1 p.m.

Castner, a Marquette University graduate, served as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) officer in the U.S. Air Force from 1999 to 2007, deploying to Iraq to command bomb disposal units in Balad and Kirkuk in 2005 and 2006. He and his team “disabled roadside IEDs, investigated the aftermath of roadside car bombings and searched door to door to uncover bomb-makers at their homes.” He is a Bronze Star recipient who continues to train EOD teams to disable bombs, as a civilian. His memoir offers a hard look at the reality of war and the effect on warriors “in country” and back home. Critics have compared The Long Walk … to Erich Maria Remarque’s, All Quiet on the Western Front, and recognize Brian Castner as a gifted writer whose candor will strike a chord with veterans of all wars, and those who love them.
