Spanish at Canisius University

04/10/2024

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!!!

I’m ready to support El Camino de Santiago - Experiential Learning for Student Athletes on April 10, 2024 during Canisius Giving Day. Learn more about El Camino de Santiago - Experiential Learning for Student Athletes and all the other funds participating in Canisius Giving Day.

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:
