  • Canisius Hesaa Class of 2019 0.Pdf
    Dear Friends of Canisius College, I would like to present to you the members of the Class of 2019 that have submitted their resume to be included in our annual booklet of graduates. The Higher Education and Student Affairs Administration (HESAA) master’s program (formerly known as College Student Personnel Administration) at Canisius College is a full time cohort-based course of study that prepares graduates for careers in student affairs administration at both private and public institutions of higher education. The program is grounded in a theory-to-practice philosophy based in Jesuit pedagogy and student affairs professional competencies. Founded in 1996, the course of study consists of 36 credit hours taken over two academic years. The HESAA program combines the in-class education of graduate coursework, with the experiential learning of two required 225-hour internships to achieve its mission. Throughout their time in the program, students have been graduate assistants or worked professionally at Canisius and institutions across Western New York. Our students have had the unique opportunity to attend the NASPA national conference in March of 2018 and the ACPA annual convention in March of 2019 as part of their academic curriculum. These experiences only enhanced the student’s understanding of the importance of life-long professional development and the value of building networks and relationships. The HESAA students have progressed through the academic program together, taking all of their coursework as a cohesive group, thus developing strong team building skills and effective work groups. If you would like to learn more about our program, please visit canisius.edu/hesaa.

  • Better Choices for Buffalo's Students
    Better Choices for Buffalo's Students: Expanding & Reforming the Criteria Schools System By Gary Orfield, Jennifer Ayscue, Jongyeon Ee, Erica Frankenberg, Genevieve Siegel-Hawley, Brian Woodward and Natasha Amlani A Report to Buffalo Public Schools May 2015 Acknowledgements The Civil Rights Project would like to acknowledge the many people who contributed to this important study. The collaboration of the Buffalo Public Schools staff was paramount, particularly Will Keresztes for making things happen, Eileen Bohen for her coordination, the school principals who spoke to us willingly and openly, Mark Frazier and staff who responded to our many requests for data, Maria Giardino for assisting Mr. Keresztes, and others who helped behind-the-scenes in Buffalo. On our research team, Natasha Amlani’s work was essential, and we want to thank her for the research she did. Our on-the-ground volunteers in Buffalo, Sara Asrat and Jenna Tomasello, worked tirelessly during the site visits, shepherded our researchers to many a meeting, organized and led survey field tests and provided overall indispensable support and consult. Pastor Pointer of the Lincoln Memorial United Methodist Church provided space and recruited parents for one of our field tests. Other key collaborators in Buffalo were Rhonda Ried and staff at Cornerstone Research & Marketing for carrying out the survey work, and Caroline Taggart for sharing her suggestions on survey data collection. Thanks to Professor Mindy Kornhaber of the Pennsylvania State University who shared her expertise on testing. Laurie Russman worked miracles of coordination and communication, and Carolyn Peelle helped us as a perceptive and always-thoughtful editor.

Buffalo has approximately 70 school buildingsii How many children does the Buffalo Public Schools serve? BPS educates approximately 37,000 children. This number has been decreasing due to depopulation as well as the rising number of charter schools in Buffalo.iii What explains the need to renovate the Buffalo Public Schools?
