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. [...]

Lent approaches with anticipation around Gannon University every year, both because we love celebrating Mardi Gras and because Ash Wednesday is one of American Catholics’ favorite days.
