Canisius Earning Excellence Program
DMA majors can get involved in faculty-student research projects through the Canisius Earning Excellence Program (CEEP). If selected for the program, you’ll work closely with a faculty member over the course of a year. In addition to potential opportunities to co-present at a conference, you’ll present project results at Ignatian Scholarship Day.
Digital Media Arts (DMA) students can also become involved in a variety of clubs on campus:
Anime Club
Anime Club is the place for otakus to view Japanese animation, eat Japanese candy, go to anime conventions and enjoy a variety of activities coordinated by an active and attentive e-board, all while socializing with other otakus.
Buffalo Game Space
