Why are you running for SGA president? I’ve always been really motivated and I’ve always really just been in love with this campus, and ever since I got on SGA I realized that I can have a major role in what goes on on this campus. I love the students, I love the faculty and I [...]
Why are you running for SGA president? I’m running for SGA president simply because I believe I’m the best candidate for the position. I want to use my leadership abilities to guide SGA toward being the true voice of the students. I will be unbiased in my opinions toward university teams, clubs and organizations and do [...]
Why are you running for SGA president? Two reasons. One is that students don’t really know a lot about SGA. It’s supposed to be a representation of the students, but from my standpoint – and I can attest to this too – it’s really the students in SGA. And I think that’s something that needs to [...]
Before break I wrote a really sappy column about my time at Gannon University coming to a screeching halt. Sorry about that. The truth is, my time here may not actually be over. I have applied and been accepted to graduate programs, and Gannon is still one of my top choices. I may very well [...]
At the beginning of senior year, I pictured myself writing sentimental columns left and right about the end of my undergraduate college career. It was going to be tragic and sob-worthy material, for which I was bound to win all kinds of awards. Kidding, at least about the awards. But now that I’m halfway through [...]

I was a Girl Scout once. Actually, I was a Girl Scout for something like nine years – long after it stopped being cool. I was only in it for the cookies. Scouting is one of those activities – at least it was for me – where you make some really great friends. It was [...]
Let’s all say this together: Josh Groban’s last album sucked. Wow, that felt good. Finally the time has come, however, to put the woes of “Illuminations” behind us, because the long-awaited new album – “All That Echoes” – is here. The album starts off strong with its first single, “Brave.” You may have heard this [...]
Starting about two weeks ago, I began work on the story that resulted from the recent provost switch at the university. I was really excited to take it on, because it’s probably the biggest (read: most important) campus-related story I’ve written in my college career. But I wasn’t purely looking forward to it for that [...]
It’s been said before and it will be said again: Gross Anatomy is one of the most difficult classes a student will have to take at Gannon University. Elisa Konieczko, Ph.D., a biology professor at the university, said she has been teaching the class at Gannon for 16 years, and had taught it as a [...]
