Canisius is one of my alma mater's, as I graduated a few months ago. That being said, yes, other…read morepeople are correct about their $$ issues. However, this has not directly impacted students as of yet. Approved classes being offered are dwindling, but each department has their strengths and weaknesses. I had no issue getting courses to complete my Communication and Business degree due to some finagling with my department chairs. If I did not have that relationship, I would not have been able to fulfill both my degree paths. In addition, I was a transfer student, and it was not completely explained to me that I would have to take 2 religion, and 2 philosophy courses on top of fulfilling all of the capstones. That information should be communicated far better than it was, as I am still writhing because that cost me an additional $20K. I guess that is why the gentleman that put my transfer package together is no longer with Canisius. Overall, most of my professors were stellar; specifically Dr. Dahlberg, Dr. Braunscheidel, and Dr, Haselswerdt. As well, I loved all of my courses with Prof. Nancy Lynch, Prof. Rick English, and Dr. Foster. Having those amazing educators/professors on staff saved me from transferring again after an initial disappointing semester with a few adjuncts and tenured staff. I can only speak with ethos to the Communication, Business & Political Science Department, but if you are thinking of attending Canisius in one of those concentrations, do it. As well, the Athletic teams are stellar. I even did crew for a bit, but found I did not have the time to dedicate to it. So, if you are thinking of attending Canisius for athletics. Definitely do as well. As well, take Business Ethics PHI242 (it fulfills a business & philosophy requirement, but also the ethics attribute) with Dr. Sean Donaghue-Johnston (he is an adjunct, but let me tell you, and amazing one). He's absolutely fantastic, you'll learn a lot, and expand your mind a bit, which never actually hurts :) I've taken one star off for the transfer process, and the $ issues, but feel I received a stellar education due to the folks I mentioned above. Go Griffs!!

All I said in my last 2 posts is I was disappointed in the university's speeches for the graduation that we attended a couple weeks ago. I feel politics has no place in a commencement speech. Parents are there to support their kids and watch them graduate. It is not up to the university to push its opinion on the attendees.

We went through check in, where you had to fork over a suggested donation (instead of the usual 22 dollars). They take card, though we gave cash, which seemed like an easier way to exercise the discount. They offered an extra paid section to opt into for an extra 8 dollar charge that we turned down, taking our tiny tags. They're dinky and reusable and gotta attach somewhere to your person. She had also given me a wristband for the strap of Duckles, which had to be checked by a second girl who warned me that I could not wear my knapsack on my back. Could make it a tummy sack or an elbow purse to avoid bumping things, which is how I ended up cradling a stuffed duck around the museum. We hadn't nabbed a map and thought we could wing it. There are qr codes scattered about for info beyond the placards and finding where you have landed. We lucked out and scored a paper map abandoned on one of the numerous benches (there's also chairs and pull out chairs hanging for your resting pleasure) that we attempted to read. My directionally challenged self asked one of the security to send us off to the bridge, given two choices of route. We dodged the scenic way for a temporary outdoor escape, passing more art. Popping back inside we absorbed even more subsets of time and genre, respecting drawn boundaries and only touching things that said we could. There were things that touched us, our souls, that we could take photos of. There were also bizarre things and a bit of nudity. It's all art, including the special presentations and live music and everyday artists sketching in the hall. There was an interactive exhibit in the main that we skipped in the name of rumbling tummies, though we didn't try the cafe. Also avoided the gift shop, cutting out as the crowd began to swell around 6. The place was impeccably clean despite the abundance of windows and smudge worthy doors. It was worth coming out, though I'm unsure how often the exhibits rotate. Come see an authentic famous few and many more that'll have you saying the Albright is pretty *alright*.

Currently, among others, on display is the "One with Eternity" by Yayoi Kusama, which includes her two Infinity Mirror Rooms and "Pumpkin", a giant orange pumpkin in an orange room covered with black dots. Tickets for this exhibition must be purchased separately and are valid for specific time slots. If there is a big crowd that day, wait a little and don't come from the beginning of your time slot (or figure this out by yourself). We had to leave and come back after a ridiculous experience. Waiting twenty minutes in line to see the actual installation for forty five seconds!? It was very confusing, and I believe there must be a different way to actually enjoy Kusama's work. We came back to see the second room with no wait, but still, with the forty five seconds rule. Ugh... Yes, let's loop if this is the only way which works.
