Welcome Week is an extended orientation designed to help you settle into campus, build connections with the Gannon community, find opportunities that match your interests, and develop a sense of belonging on Gannon's campus before classes start.
Welcome Week starts on Friday, August 18, 2023, and concludes on Tuesday, August 22, 2023. Please continue to check your Gannon email for
more detailed instructions on Arrival Day.
Welcome Week is aimed to be common yet customizable, letting you choose your own adventure throughout the week. Activities include social events local to Erie as well as meetings with your Gannon 101 group. You can look forward to kayaking on Presque
Isle, taking a tour on Lake Erie on the Victorian Princess, attending a SeaWolves baseball game, or other on campus activities such as yoga, crafts, laser tag and bumper cars!
Please see below for important or mandatory sessions of Welcome Week for new students. A full detailed schedule of events is available here. We also encourage you to download the Corq app
and log-in to Gannon University with your Network ID and password to find a mobile friendly version of the whole Welcome Week schedule.
