Undergraduate Admissions

A Gannon University student has been accepted to participate in a week-long seminar on “Islam and Civil Society” at the Princeton Theological Seminary.

The student, William R. Chapnick of Brodheadsville, Pa., is the son of Carl and Brenda Falco and is a graduate of Pleasant Valley High School. He is a history major at Gannon.

The Islam and Civil Society Seminar allows Muslim and non-Muslim young adults to explore the relationship of Islam to civil society by engaging together in study, reflection, discussion, and pragmatic solution-seeking. The seminar will consider history and the modern world, with a focus on modern challenges and opportunities for Islam and civil society. Participation in the seminar will include lectures, discussions, a film, a play, and a small-group project and presentation.
