Notes, Marriages, Births and Memoriam

A Message from Gannon University Alumni Association President

To me, Family = Gannon.

Having met my wife, Rebecca, at Gannon during our first months on campus, 12 years, one wedding in the Mary, Seat of Wisdom Chapel, and one 15-month old daughter later, well, you get the idea.

The same goes for our closest friends, our Gannon family, with whom we celebrate holidays, birthdays and more. They are all part of our family, one that wouldn’t exist without Gannon.

For others, family can mean a legacy, oftentimes second- or third-generation Gannon alumni. That legacy is the basis of the Alumni Association Endowed Legacy “Power” Scholarship given each year to children of alumni to attend Gannon University.

This endowed scholarship is partly funded by charitable contributions through relationships with businesses that provide discounts through the Alumni Benefits Program. Services include real estate sales and acquisitions, moving and storage, auto and home insurance and long-term care insurance.

I’ve had the pleasure of serving on the National Alumni Board for the past six years, the last two as President. While this article marks the end of my term, the work of the Board to share Gannon’s legacy with alumni around the globe will flourish under the leadership of President-elect Greg Czarnecki ’89 and Alumni Services Director Nancy Bird. 

Visit gannonalumni.org for more information on alumni events near you, the Alumni Benefits Program, Endowed Legacy “Power” Scholarship, and to share what Gannon means to your family.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your Gannon Family.
