MARCEL DEYA, 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.”
SPECIALIZED HOUSING FIND OUT MORE
Find out more about Specialized Housing.
AFFINITY HOUSING PROGRAM One of the most rewarding parts of your college experience is finding people who have the same goals and interests as you. Affinity Housing communities offer students the opportunity to connect with other students who share similar interests. As first-year students, the communities are created around academic interests. These include students in health profession programs, the radiological sciences program, or those accepted to the Honors Program. Upperclass students are welcome to continue in these groups or propose new groups as they move on in housing. Living in these communities offers a richer campus experience and is a great way to make your Gannon experience more transformational. UPPERCLASSMAN HOUSING The University offers a variety of housing options for upperclassman students. We have options to best suit your experience, ranging from traditional halls to suites, apartments and houses. Preferred parking is available at each building and is administered by Campus Police and Safety.
A COMMUNITY THAT CARES An environment where you feel safe, healthy and confident is vital to achieving academic success. For this reason, we provide the best services possible across many areas to meet your individual needs and enable your potential. • Academic Advising Center • Counseling Services • Health and Wellness Center • ITS Help Desk • Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Steering Committee • LiveSafe App • Police and Safety • Office of Disability Support Services • Student Support Services • Tutoring Services
