$83.6 Million and Counting

An impressive $83.6 million has been raised toward our $100 million Believe. Inspire. Transform. Gannon’s Next Century comprehensive campaign. This remarkable progress is thanks to unwavering support of our many donors, community partners and engaged alumni. 

“We are quite literally transforming the future of Gannon University,” said Nancy Bird, vice president for University Advancement.

Significant strides have been made toward major university initiatives under the leadership of Gannon’s new president, Walter Iwanenko, Ph.D. Project NePTWNE plans are moving forward to create an on-campus greenhouse and a Great Lakes Research and Education Center; the official opening of the MakerSpace in I-HACK was celebrated in October to advance the future of manufacturing; and a new academic partnership with the University of Tampa will help accelerate their undergraduate students’ access to Gannon’s graduate health professions in Ruskin. 

“As we march toward our centennial anniversary in 2025, I am inspired by the Gannon family’s belief in our mission and dedication to our students’ success,” Bird said. “Together, we are the stewards of the Gannon legacy and we look forward to the abundant possibilities the next century will bring.”
