ACADEMIC SUCCESS

Students sample the waters of Frontier Park.

The interactions between you and your professors are among the most important experiences at Gannon. With a 13:1 student-faculty ratio, we feel that
a valuable education stems from strong relationships and collaborative research. Our faculty are experts in their field and are here to inspire you to question, learn, explore and achieve.

AFFINITY HOUSING PROGRAM One of the most rewarding parts of your college experience is finding people who have the same goals and interests as you.

Our Affinity Housing communities bring together students who share these interests. We offer AH communities for first-year students in the honors and health professions programs and for students with special interests in leadership and more. Students are encouraged to propose new AH communities for the following academic year.

Living in these communities offers a richer campus experience and is a great way to make your Gannon experience more transformational.

UPPERCLASSMAN APARTMENTS

SPECIALIZED HOUSING

The University offers a variety of housing options for upperclassmen students. We have options to best suit your experience, ranging from traditional halls to suites, apartments and houses. Preferred parking is available at each building and is administered by Campus Police and Safety.

CLASSROOMS

GET REAL

You discover who you want to become through real-world classroom experiences. You also apply these experiences outside of the classroom to enhance your education. We believe in providing hands-on learning opportunities, and they are right here on campus.

Gannon students are engaged in rich cultural and service experiences in the communities locally and globally. You have many opportunities for hands-on learning that will enhance your college education while making an impact on the world around you.

SERVING THE COMMUNITY What would you like to do and where? How about working with local schoolchildren and their families at STEM evenings? Or serving the local Our West Bayfront to help revitalize parks and residential blocks? Gannon offers many opportunities for those passionate about serving. You can work with the Erie-Gannon Alliance to Improve Neighborhood Sustainability to build a sustainable community. You can meet and learn about our local K-12 schools in surrounding neighborhoods as you teach, play with and mentor students. The St. Joseph House of Faith in Action serves as a gathering space for small groups to meet, learn and serve a diverse community. All of these opportunities are ways you can serve your neighbors.

SERVING OTHERS

GET INVOLVED Clubs and organizations, educational and social programming are all a path to personal growth and skill, and the place where student leaders are empowered.

Getting involved is a gateway into the enjoyable and engaging student environment that makes Gannon such a special place.
