Founded in the Catholic faith, Gannon University offers a variety of opportunities for you to deepen your understanding of your faith and act on your values. We welcome students and faculty from all faiths and beliefs, and we strive to offer an environment
that prepares you to make professional and personal choices grounded in strong values and integrity.
We believe our diverse community should be an example of tolerance, respect, understanding and enrichment. As such, you’ll find ample opportunities to serve others through volunteer projects on campus, in the community and across the nation. At Gannon,
we view service to others not simply as something special to do. We see service as part of our daily responsibility to improving society and helping others.
