Community As a university located in the center of a downtown community, Gannon offers its students a unique exper ience. Gannon's campus is in- tertwined with the city itself — so students are part of the community as well as the university. One familiar sight is that of the pres- choolers from the YWCA. Just about every day they are taken for a walk in their usual chain-gang fashion. As part of the city, we are also part of the city's prob- lems. Such as traffic. They say that the city is a jungle, but for anyone who has ever attempted crossing 7th St. they realize it's also like the Indianapolis 500. Preschoolers on their daily walk antici- pate joining the throng of Gannon stu- dents they pass everyday. Gannon is more than just a college campus, it is a spe- cial place for students to feel what its like to become in- volved in a community. There are many opportuni- ties for students to get in- volved in the community af- fairs and public service. Var- ious Gannon clubs and organizations sponsor the Erie Bloodmobile, raise funds for Muscular Dystro- phy, The American Cancer Society, and Special Olym- pics. Students also find time to break away from their busy schedules to enjoy the cul- tural and social events in Erie. There are several pop- ular hangouts for Gannon Students in the area. The One of the most familiar summer fun spots for Gannon students — Presque Isle's Light House.
