Annual Report of Donors As we use this Annual Report of Donors to reflect on 2016-17, we similarly celebrate the many achievements that confirm the focus and dedication of Canisius College to educating students and transforming lives. Access and affordability continue to be a priority for the college, as evidenced most recently with the launch of Excellence Within Reach (see page 4). And it was a proud moment this past year when U.S. News & World Report ranked Canisius No. 9 on its list of best value schools in the North. That ranking was followed up by another from Student Loan Report, which named Canisius “among the best in the nation” to offer financial aid to students. Canisius can also boast that it’s one of only 16 providers from 10 states to receive CAEP accreditation for its educator preparation programs. The Richard J. Wehle School of Business received a similar seal-of-approval from AACSB International—The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, which renewed the school’s business accreditation. Not surprisingly, Canisius’ accounting program remains No. 1 in New York State. Likewise, our pre-law students averaged an 88 percent acceptance rate into law school and our pre-med students maintained an 86 percent acceptance rate into medical school.* Such successes are tied, in large part, to the generous contributions – in all sizes – from you, our donors. We extend our heartfelt thanks in this Annual Report, to everyone for their support of Canisius in 2016-17. As you will read from the testimonials that follow, you are helping to make a significant difference in the lives of our students and exemplifying what the power of many can do.
