Being an undeclared freshman, I’ve had a lot of different classes this year that have focused on many different majors and areas of study. These would include intro classes in philosophy, computer sciences, history, communications and theology. With all of these classes, there was one that was unlike the rest. The screenwriting course offered here […]
It’s almost the end. Summer awaits. But first you have to get through the gauntlet of finals week. Everyone has different ways of dealing with the stress and making it through. If you’re like me, you deal with it through music. You spend all week with headphones in, bumping whatever songs make you feel […]
In the Occupational Therapy Doctorate program, we are required to complete a level I fieldwork relating to the area of occupational therapy currently being studied. We have been placed at local and national organizations, giving us unique opportunities to reach out to the community around the Ruskin campus while supporting the Gannon University mission. In […]
I was sitting in the good ol’ Edge office when I received the familiar *ding!* of an email in my inbox. I didn’t recognize the sender, but it was a Gannon email address, so it couldn’t be one of those spam bots. The message was from a student named Jessica Edmondson, who was working in […]

Computer and Information Sciences professor Mark Blair, associate provost Dr. Kathleen Kingston, and junior electrical engineering major Nick Devine also went on the trip. GUBotDev designs and […]
As everyone knows by this point, the musician coming to Gannon University to perform is Chase Rice. If you’re like me, the announcement elicited a “Huh? Who?” response. While many (if not most) Gannon students probably heard that name and knew exactly who he was, for the benefit of myself and others like me I decided […]
As a student at the Ruskin campus, I am often asked how it feels to be part of Gannon University’s inaugural class for the new campus and Doctorate of Occupational Therapy program. But I think it is time to highlight the professionals chosen to lead our class and create the framework for this program. This […]

Between the early morning labs and sunrise lectures, it’s safe to say I’ve adjusted to the morning person schedule whether I […]
