Founded on Excellence Gannon University was founded on the ideal of excellence in edu- cation. Each year, at the end of the spring semester Gannon takes the time to recognize stu- dents who have fulfilled this ideal. The 1986 Founder's day Award Ceremony took place April 20th. SGA president, John Fazio opened the ceremony and pre- sented President Dr. Scottino who gave opening remarks. Those in attendance were then entertained by the words of two Gannon Alumni. Mary S. Rotunda, a 1980 gra- duate, reflected on her education at Gannon. Joseph E. Kloecker from the class of 1974 spoke on the relation between education and work. Both talks were en- lightening, especially for those students who were graduating. Following these addresses, awards were presented to those that excelled in a particular aca- demic field. These awards were presented by Dr. Richard Herb- stritt, the acting Vice President of Academic Affairs. Awards for service were also presented in areas of service to the university, God, Country and fellow stu- dents. These awards were pre- sented by Vice President of Stu- dent Personnel Services, Mr. Richard Dunford.

Fourteen students were named to Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. This award is based on academic re- cord as well as involvement in University activities. This year Gannon named Pi Kappa Alpha as its most out- standing Fraternity. Alpha Phi Omega was named the most out- standing club. These organiza- tions exemplified the ideals of this university. From the people gathered to see this ceremony, it can be clearly concluded that the call for excellence which founded the university is still in full force today.
