"I because of Commuter Life and Campus Ministry. Both groups have given me so many new friendships and opportunities that have helped shape me into the person I am today. I’ve enjoyed countless events with Commuter Life, as well as Mass and Adoration through Campus Ministry. These groups hold a special place in my heart because of all the incredible experiences I’ve had and everything I’ve been able to be a part of during my time at Gannon."- Peyton Kalicky '27
