Student Affairs - Canisius College Student Affairs Participation at all levels of College operation is an important part of the student experience at Canisius. This involvement is valuable to the student as part of the learning process, and to the College as a whole as well, enabling the institution to draw upon the creativity, innovation, and leadership of its students in its efforts to serve them better.
Students discover that education takes place outside the classroom as well as inside.
In keeping with the Jesuit ideal of educating the whole person, students learn and develop a total sense of self through participation in such experiences as life in the residence halls, co-curricular activities, organizational membership and leadership, social involvement in the community, and membership on the various college committees. It is hoped that through such involvement a student's years at Canisius will be a time of intellectual growth, advancement in self knowledge, and an improved knowledge of others. Division of Student Affairs The Vice President for Student Affairs, and the Dean of Students, with the aid of staff and committees, determine all student affairs policies and procedures for the College, subject to the approval of the President. All Canisius College students need to have health insurance to prevent the financial burdens associated with health care. Students must have their own coverage or purchase a sickness plan offered by the College.
