Prospective students get glimpse of Gannon University at open house

Hundreds of students and families gathered downtown to get a glimpse into their futures.

Gannon University held an open house for prospective students who are interested in learning more about the school.

Visitors were able to view resident halls, athletic facilities, laboratories and classroom spaces.

Bridget Philip, director of undergraduate admissions said this is a great opportunity to view their campus and engage with their faculty and staff.

“Our open house was centered around the idea of experience. We wanted students to be able to have hands-on in our engineering labs, we wanted them to have hands-on experience in our education and our health professions, we wanted them to have hands-on in our humanities and so by doing so we were able to give them a different feel for open house this year than we’ve had before,” said Philip.

Philip encourages those interested to apply now.
