Erin L. Foley

My name is Erin L.Foley and my hometown is Pittsburgh, Pa.. I'm currently a junior in the Criminal Justice Program.

I decided to come to Gannon University because I liked the atmosphere of a small school and because Gannon is close enough that I can go home to reconnect with my family.

I also came because I received scholarship money and was interested in dietetics. Yes, that’s right -- I was a dietetics major, then a psychology major, and then a business major. I took several career assessments in the Career-counseling Center and discovered Criminal Justice!

I chose to be a criminal justice major because:

• I found the courses to be very interesting and I was no longer bored in my classes.

• You have the opportunity to minor in a variety of different areas such as:
  • Behavioral Specialist
  • Forensic Investigations
  • Conservation Law
  • Balanced and Restorative Justice

• Gannon has two fraternities – APS (Alpha Phi Sigma) and LAE (Lambda Alpha Epsilon)

I am currently working towards my Behavioral Specialist minor where I get a lot of hands on experience through the class work and the Behavioral practicum. I am a Criminal Justice "Diplomat" and a board member of the LAE Fraternity.
