Canisius University is a supportive community of people from all walks of life, engaged in conscientious academic, personal and spiritual inquiry. Griffs learn how to think more deeply, create more boldly, dare more courageously and live more compassionately, developing the skills and confidence to take the lead in their chosen field, career and community.

What We Stand For 
We are sensitive to the challenges that the world faces. As a university, we have the power to address injustice by expanding access to our transformative education, advancing equity, and producing new knowledge that advances humanity. And when our students graduate, they go on to meaningfully impact the areas that call out to them.

Our community is respectful, creative and tightly knit. Here, we cherish and challenge the individual, making space and providing support for everyone to discover their passions, articulate their purpose and become the greatest version of themselves.

We are determined to make a difference. We understand that doing things the way that they have always been done only perpetuates the status quo, and that there is no progress without action. Motivated by a vision of what could and should be, we move forward fearlessly. 

We see and respect every individual as a whole person. Every Griff, whether they’re a faculty member, staff person or a student, plays a role in every other Griff’s development. When we lift each other up, we all reach even greater heights.
