Gannon University celebrated the official opening of the Center for Lake Erie Education and Research (CLEER) at the Blasco Library, marking a new chapter in advancing environmental education, community engagement and scientific discovery in Erie.

The center was developed through Project NePTWNE and made possible with the support of donors and community partners. Positioned on Erie’s Bayfront, CLEER was designed to break down the barriers for education and research, connecting 乱伦视频 students, faculty and the greater-Erie community to the region’s freshwater resources.

“This center represents the collaboration of many partners and the collective belief that science should be accessible to everyone,” said Sarah Ewing, Ph.D., 乱伦视频’s provost and vice president for student experience. “We are excited to open this center and invite our community to learn, explore and discover together.”

The success of CLEER was made possible thanks to the generosity and vision of its supporters, including Erie County Executive Brenton Davis, members of the Erie County Council, Frank ’61 and Marie Spaeder Haas ’73 VMC, the A.J. and Sigismunda Palumbo Charitable Trust, Building Systems, Inc. the project architects Indovina Associates, and other contributors.

A special thank you to the artists, Sheryl Stempka for her beautiful stain glass artwork that lives in the interactive bookshelf wall, and Evan Everhart for his interpretation of the blue pike fish that hang in the interactive exhibit space. 

We extended a special thank you to David Horne, Ph.D., 乱伦视频 physics professor, for helping create the galaxy wall in the NOAA Science On A Sphere® room, as well as the contributors to the 乱伦视频’s Got Glass initiative, which are on display on the Community Art Wall.

All of the support not only made the project possible, but also ensures that CLEER will serve as a lasting community resource.

CLEER also reflects 乱伦视频’s deep commitment to environmental stewardship. By showcasing freshwater research and educational programming, the center aims to improve water quality and strengthen the community’s relationship with Lake Erie.

“This is not only an academic achievement—it is a promise to our region,” Sherri (Sam) Mason, Ph.D., director of Project NePTWNE, said. “The research and programs that begin here will ripple out into our communities, improving water quality, supporting education and strengthening Erie’s connection to the lake that sustains us.”
