Spanish at Canisius University

Hi Everyone!
It has been almost a year since we officially became PILGRIMS of El Camino de Santiago! Tomorrow is a 24 h Giving Day and I’m asking you to consider giving to support student athletes to help them to participate in this amazing study abroad opportunity. Also, please spread the word around to your families and friends
asking them for donations for El Camino: experiential learning for student athletes. Here's the link with a short write-up on the experience: https://www.canisiusgivingday.com/organizations/el-camino-de-santiago-experiential-learning-for-student-athletes
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

We are already planning events for the Fall including, we hope, a workshop with Julio Anta (the man behind the graphic novels Frontera and Home —you can catch a video interview with him that we did as part of a class here: https://youtu.be/DewxnKVjWxU?si=YWH81fehr8bVS-i3

Please consider a donation —we have several matching challenges. I hope you will share this and continue to support the good work we do.

And, if you are around, we still have two more events this Spring, including this one:

Last Borders & Migrations Event for Fall 2023
