MARCEL DEYA

Transfer Student

“I chose to transfer because the more I learned about Gannon, the clearer it became that Gannon offered me the best opportunity to build a professional future. That realization has come to fruition through my work with Edge, which has allowed me to transcend being a student-athlete and helped me develop a well-rounded background.”
