The most distinguishing feature of Erie may be the sparkling waters of the lake that is the city’s namesake. And where the two Eries meet is one of the city’s most distinguishing attractions: the Lake Erie bayfront. Just a few blocks from Gannon’s campus, the bayfront offers lots of activities for all year round.
Today, we’re launching another new blog on Edge. “Picture This” belongs to our photo and assistant video editor, Allison Kessler, a junior theatre and communication arts major. I just finished my sophomore year here at Gannon, and wow, it went fast. Like last summer, I am staying in Erie because there is so much more […]
Running may be one of the easiest and least expensive ways to stay in shape – yet, for some, one of the hardest activities to gather the motivation to start. As a self-proclaimed non-runner, I found it hard to believe anyone had the desire to move that quickly in a non-descript direction when not being chased. […]
Whatever’s stressing you out – just take a deep breath and jump in 🙂 This photo was snapped during a trip to Dobbins Landing with friends. Gannon students – have a photo you’d like to share in our 1000 words series? E-mail us at edge@gannon.edu.– -Photo by Lindsey Kurtz
It’s true, Erie winters are often cold and snowy, but Gannon students make the best of it!

So, we asked them how they get through the […]
The Bicentennial Tower, 187 feet tall, at Dobbins Landing is decorated for the holidays! The tower’s red and green lights overlook the bay just blocks from Gannon. –Photo by Joe Kreydt
These days, the leaves have gone from a vibrant, life-filled green to a variety of shades of red, orange and brown that many of us probably have not had the time to sit back and enjoy. We have, however, had the time to realize one thing quite suddenly – winter is on its way. With […]
Erie is heaven for history buffs. Lighthouses, railways, Victorian mansions and even a naval brig from the War of 1812 serve as reminders of Erie days gone by. People in the area encounter names from Erie’s rich history every day — often without realizing the significant contributions of the namesakes. We at Edge — inquisitive […]
Getting hands-on experience is a major part of the educational process – especially as a college student. At Gannon, students in the field of environmental science, biology and other related majors have the luxury of using the Environaut, Gannon’s own research vessel. The Environaut gives students a chance to learn how aquatic and environmental life […]
Last week, Edge staffers went backstage at Gannon’s Schuster Theatre to catch up with cast members of “Dancing at Lughnasa.” They’re actors, but they’re also students. In addition to learning lines and blocking, they’ve got to study, too. So, we wanted to know: “When you’re not rehearsing, where’s your favorite place to study?”
