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 [...]
Senior business majors at Gannon University had the opportunity to dive head-first into the world of nonprofit work this semester as they spent countless hours of time and energy working with a local foundation to raise funds and spread the word. Students in this semester’s Business Policy class worked alongside their teacher, Bruce Kibler – [...]
I’m pretty sure Michael Bublé is one of those people who just never ages. You know what I’m talking about. That tall, dark and handsome who has stayed just as tall, dark and handsome since you first saw him 10 years ago; not a freckle out of place? That’s Bublé. Oh, this is supposed to [...]
Hard to believe, but for many of us graduation is only 16 days away. For me, it’s even harder to believe it was this time just four years ago that most of us were gearing up to graduate high school. Sometimes I can’t wrap my head around the fact that my high school experience actually [...]

Often when I’m feeling particularly down in the dumps, or feeling any kind of extreme emotion, really, I turn to contemporary Christian music to cheer me up. It has a soothing effect on me that I haven’t quite found anywhere else in my life up to this point. Even if I’m not completely paying attention [...]
Show, don’t tell” is one of the most fundamental rules you’ll ever hear in a creative writing class, whether it’s at Gannon University or anywhere else that’s got some merit with that sort of thing. You want the reader to see, hear, feel, smell and taste what you’re writing, so that he or she can [...]
Catholics were able to breathe a sigh of relief Wednesday when the almost month-long wait for a pope ended with the election of Pope Francis. Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected pope on March 13 after cardinals spent two days in conclave in Rome. After choosing the name Francis – after Saint Francis of Assisi – [...]
I’ve expressed my love for Gannon University in a plethora of columns over the past two years. I’ve said it before and I will say it again: I am truly blessed to have been included as a part of this wonderful community. A community which, despite love and gratitude from its members, does have flaws. [...]
