A refesher course, courtesey of Wikipedia. The first comprehensive capital campaign was by President Cooke,S.J. in 2000 and raised $39 MM. His second campaign in 2007 raised $66 MM. There has been none since. The annual Giving Day raises some $$, but are very modest in comparison to those and President Steve Stoute's $150 MM. The completion of Science Hall in an up to date manner should be at the top of the list, IMO. Also the parking ramp site should be used for buildings, e.g. the Business School, possibly a faculty offices building (after Chuhchill is gone). Acquiring some of the Medaille property is interesting, maybe the dorm space next to the CU property could be converted to those kind of uses. Canisius isn't "land locked" any more.

Hurley should have never sold the properties on Florida Street. So dumb! Koessler could have desperately used that land. Move the business school to Lyons Hall. The parking ramp space will be green space for now. Science Hall has been a huge drain when it came to fund raising. They need to get that done. How long has it been? The school needs to drive enrollment from outside WNY. We’re everybody’s safety school. The school needs to change that by making it a destination with the most compelling majors & faculty. It can be done. Go Griffs!

I was also shocked, and disappointed when Hurley sold the property on Florida St. I was hoping that at one point Canisius would own all of the houses along that block, and the Demske could possibly add a track, or improve the baseball and softball facilities. Apparently, he needed the money to demo the parking ramp. Go Griffs!!!

So short sighted on Hurley. He should have at least picked up the phone & reach to boosters to secure the housing. This was typical during the tenure. No vision, just tactics. What could have been. President Steve has a vision & needs our support. Go Griffs!
