AlumNotes President Garibaldi Shoots Hoops for a Cause
President Antoine M. Garibaldi, Ph.D., had his basketball skills challenged on April 30 by more than 30 students, coaches, faculty, staff and alumni at the Fifth Annual GU Basketball Shoot-out Tournament. The event was held during Springtopia, a week of interactive activities and events for students before spring semester final exams. This year’s tournament raised $100; all funds raised from the event benefited Gannon University’s Relay for Life team, an annual fundraiser benefiting the American Cancer Society.
