Canisus College receives $1.15M gift from alum's estate

Canisius College has received a $1.15 million gift from the estate of William E. Leising, a 1972 graduate of the college.

Leising was a real estate and financial attorney, as well as a licensed real estate broker, according to his 2010 obituary in The Boston Globe.

The gift will benefit the Hubert George & Alice Shyne Leising Scholarship Fund at Canisius, established by Leising in 1998. The scholarships are designated for students who are physically challenged.
