Transatlantic Connection

The final Gannon Knight edition of the fall 2012 semester marks the beginning of the end of my extraordinary semester abroad.

Transatlantic Connection

Before coming to Spain, I applied for a scholarship through my host program. The prompt was to reflect on a quote by Alvin Toffler and discuss how I planned to embody its ideas in my study abroad experience.

Administration sees internal position changes

The Gannon University administration may be making changes, but those making these changes believe that they will maintain the campus’ traditions, which they believe support the student body. The most well known change may be the inauguration of Keith Taylor, Ph.D. as university president. But some recent changes have been made in administration that will [...]

The end of the semester is moments away, as well as the many traditions that occur congruent to it. Winter Commencement ceremony, celebrations, book sell back, and the Mid-Knight Pancake Breakfast are all activities students have to look forward to in the next two weeks. As the end of the semester comes in, students gather [...]
