A premiere institution of Catholic higher education on Lake Erie started to take shape as the presidents of Gannon University and Ursuline College announced they had signed a Letter of Intent to enter a strategic partnership. The move, which is contingent on the successful completion of due diligence, will create an institution with about 6,000 students, 1,300 employees, and campuses in three states – Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Once complete, it will be the largest Catholic university system in the region.
In many ways, our two schools are in alignment.
