President, Gannon University Alumni AssociationĪchievements by Gannon University faculty, staff and administration 62 ![]() If you have some hidden gems you’d like to share, I’d love to hear from you. You may know that the two schools merged in 1989, but did you know that Gannon started off as an all-male downtown branch campus of Villa in 1933? We’re also looking for photos of Villa Maria College, because you can’t tell Gannon’s story without Villa. I’m especially interested in images of campus events, faculty and staff, and important milestones in Gannon’s history. To tell Gannon’s history we need photos from the whole Gannon Family, and that’s you. While the archives contain lots of great photos dating back to Gannon’s earliest days, it only tells part of the story. With the help of Gannon’s archivist, Bob Dobiesz, I’ve been combing through the University’s archives for images to include in the book. In the fall of 2019 Arcadia Publishing will release a pictorial history of Gannon as part of its Campus History Series. Who doesn’t like digging out old photo albums and reliving the past, laughing at how they used to look, or fondly remembering those who are no longer with us or who we rarely see? Photos tell our history in a way that words never can.Ī pictorial history of Gannon has never been compiled, until now.
