It is the motto of the Canisius Ambassadors for Conservation that if we all work together, we really can make the world a better place. Our goal to instill that attitude in the next generation of citizens that are coming behind us. The CAC program tries to inspire an approach that involves a positive attitude while engaging in pro-conservation efforts.
Founded by Michael Noonan, PhD., the CAC program involves training students in intensive field studies, and then returning to Western New York to promote conservation in the local community. They do this by serving as public educators at local zoological institutions, by making presentations at local schools, by developing web pages, and by producing videos. It is a formula in which the enthusiasm of pro-conservation professionals spreads first to Canisius College students, and then to others in the community.
