One of the most inevitable aspects of college is that it will be challenging. Balancing the workload and time outside of class can be enough to knock you off your feet. Advising Day here at Gannon never fails to do the same. Each semester, Gannon sets aside one day right before registration opens where classes […]
I’m halfway through my first semester as a psychology major and things are going really well. I’m getting all A’s and loving my classes, teachers and classmates. And at this point, most people are aware of my switch, so I’m no longer being asked, “Wait, aren’t you a biology major?” But that question’s been replaced […]
As I sit here in my office at Villa Maria Elementary School on the old Villa Maria College campus, it’s hard not to reflect on the road (both literal and figurative) between here and Gannon. I graduated from Gannon with a bachelor’s degree in 2004 and a master’s in 2010, diplomas which proudly hang on […]
As graduation approaches, seniors are reflecting on their time at Gannon. With countless experiences and memories behind them, we wanted to know, “What is one thing that Gannon has given you?” Shane Braendel, business management major: Manhood – I have definitely grown up in these four years.

I’ve always considered “Believe in the Possibilities” to be Gannon’s slogan — the phrase used to describe what the school’s mission is all about. Little did I know that even after graduation, that phrase would still hold true for what the future has in store for me. I graduated from Gannon in May 2011 with […]
This truly has been one of my favorite semesters at Gannon thus far. It really flew by and I have learned so much. I have learned a tremendous amount of information not only in my classes but about myself. I feel I have grown as a student and as a person this semester, getting ready […]
July 4 usually signals that the end of summer is quickly nearing for me. It means start scrambling to ensure my financial aid is all set because I have (regrettably) ignored the reminders since March. It means start checking for required books and acquiring new notebooks, binders and pencils. And if you’re anything like me […]
For most college students, summer vacation means packing up all of their stuff and piling it in the car for the trip back to their hometown. Since my hometown is only 20 miles away, and I have an apartment off-campus, it simply means that I no longer have to go to class. After being in […]
