How have you benefited from the Gannon Scholars program?
The transition to college is never easy, especially when the world turns upside down overnight. The Gannon Scholars program gave me a community where I was free to share my feelings, ask questions, and feel connected during a time of distance. My fellow Gannons inspire and teach me how to be more confident, and because of them, I am more outgoing, and I explore opportunities that I normally would have avoided.
Why is the mission of the Gannon Scholars important to you?
The world needs more leaders with an open mind and the Gannon Center's mission is to foster the growth and learning of its scholars so they can be productive leaders in whatever field they choose. That is important to me because the world has changed a lot recently and the lessons I learn through the Gannon Center will allow me to contribute to society in a meaningful way.
