Gannon Scholars
Mundelein alumnae can see themselves clearly in our Gannon Scholars—today’s generation of emerging women leaders. Students today benefit from the previous generation’s achievements and continue to embody the hopes and dreams of their predecessors.
The Gannon Scholars Leadership Program maintains the legacy of Mundelein College through active involvement at Loyola University Chicago and within the larger Chicago community. The program offers dynamic and engaging experiences that contribute to the leadership development of our scholars, and it lays an effective foundation for their futures.
Each year, the Gannon Scholars—20 undergraduate student leaders—work to transform their environment for the common good. These students experience a well-articulated program involving mentoring, service-learning, community-building, and internship experiences, all intended to form them into leaders committed to a more equal and just society.
We need your help to make education accessible to a future generation of women leaders.
We invite you to get to know our current Gannon Scholars by exploring their profiles below.
