It’s true, Erie winters are often cold and snowy, but Gannon students make the best of it! Nobody knows our campus better than the Gannon Guides, the dedicated students who give tours to visiting families like yours.  They know how to fend off the winter blues. So, we asked them how they get through the snowy winters in Erie.

Stephanie Komorek, junior elementary and special education major: “I go to Presque Isle and check out the ice dunes.”

Meghan Curiale, senior biology major: “I ride the Knight Rider around campus so I don’t have to walk in the cold.”

Danielle Ramus, senior occupational therapy major: “I have fun attempting to snowboard at Peek’n Peak, and I’m going to see Three Days Grace this weekend.”

Chris Frye, senior social work major: “I wear a coat and leather gloves. I also go ice fishing on Lake Erie.”

Cara Black, senior occupational therapy major: “I like to go skiing at Peek’n Peak. And I go to the dollar movie theater all the time. Sometimes I go two times on Sundays. I also love snowball fights.”

Ben Syme, fifth-year senior sports management and marketing major: “I have snowball fights with the men’s water polo team. It’s always a party.”

Tony DiPasqua, senior criminal justice major: “I go skiing at ‘the peak’ [Peek’n Peak].”

You can  catch up with the Gannon Guides during your campus visit.
