Even as I start to rewrite this column for the umpteenth time, I’m still not exactly sure where it’s going, so please bear with me. I’ve been toying with the idea of my “final column” for several weeks, and it seems that there are just too many things I want to say that will never [...]
Seeing as it’s almost the end of the semester, it’s time for all of us who live on campus to worry about the thing we absolutely hate: packing. If most of you are like me, you have not even begun to pack your stuff to take home yet, but you’ve thought about it several times. [...]
Goodbyes are always hard; they instill fear of what’s on the horizon without those we’ve grown so accustomed to. But they also bring out joy and pride – of all of that those leaving accomplished. The Knight will be saying goodbye to four extraordinary people, who have been the cornerstone of this year’s hard work. [...]

Featuring eight main stage performances, three Youtheatre performances and two special events, the season will run from September through August 2014. Youtheatre is a specialized division [...]
The Schuster Theatre’s last show of the 2012-2013 season exemplifies how to go out with a bang. “And the World Goes ‘Round” showcases the talent of Gannon University students, a professor and a student from Mercyhurst University. The show is described as a musical revue. However, don’t confuse it with a musical, because that does [...]
Part of the beauty of college sports is the anonymity; on any given day, we can pass Gannon’s best athletes on campus or in class without even knowing it. What sets them apart as big men or women on campus is what they do wearing the Gannon uniform. So without any further ado, I present [...]
Through changes in management and location, frequency and technology, the two-fold mission of 90.5 WERG has always remained the same: serving Gannon University students and the Erie community.
