Student Life

Indian Student Association

The Indian Student Association is student-directed sub-group of the International Student Association of Gannon University.

It is led by a Men’s and Women’s representative who take leadership roles in guiding and advocating for the Indian community at Gannon.

The Indian Student Association provides many services to the Indian community, including:

  • Assisting freshers coming to Gannon
  • Picking up new students from the airport
  • Helping them find an apartment and roommates
  • Housing new students on a temporary basis
  • Helping new students settle into life in Erie
  • The Association tries to assist students in grocery shopping.

    As part of the International Student Association, the Indian Student Association enjoys many of the events organized by the International Student Association, including:

  • Fresher’s Welcome Parties
  • Thanksgiving, Ramadan and Diwali dinners
  • International Night - which brings in crowds from the city of Erie

    Life in Erie for an Indian is pretty exciting with these events. In the spring semester we enjoyed two students on GU’s Radio Station WERG for live Indian Radio, “Spicy Curry”. And currently Gannon is planning to bring new Indian movies to town. The events just keep getting better and the number of Indian students at Gannon increase.
