NATIONAL CITY MAKES
$30,000 GIFT TO COMPREHENSIVE CAMPAIGN
National City Bank has
donated $30,000 to The Power To Transform Campaign at Gannon
University. On Tuesday, December 5, 2006, Jim Gehrlein, Area
President, National City Bank, presented Gannon University President,
Antoine M. Garibaldi, Ph.D., with the $30,000 check in the University’s
Old Main building on West Sixth Street.
National City’s gift will
help fund renovations to the thirty-year-old Zurn Science Center, located
in the center of Gannon’s Campus on West 7th Street. Extensive
enhancements will transform Zurn Science Center into a
state-of-the-art facility to support Gannon’s science and engineering
programs. Planned renovations to Zurn include creating more interior space
for research and educational programming and adding eight new
laboratories. The renovation of Zurn Science Center and The Power To
Transform Campaign represent an ongoing investment to: attract and
retain high quality Gannon faculty and students; to enhance a facility
that will help advance learning and research; and to strengthen Gannon’s
roles in the scientific and engineering communities.
“We are grateful for
National City’s generous gift to The Power To Transform Campaign
and value our strong community relationship with Mr. Jim Gehrlein, a 1972
Gannon Alumnus, and National City Bank,” said President Garibaldi.
“National City strives to fulfill its mission to enhance the quality of
life and make a difference in the Erie community through these types of
donations. We are pleased to be a part of the region that Gannon
University serves so well,” said Jim Gehrlein.
Gannon University launched
the public phase of The Power To Transform Campaign on May 11,
2006. To date, the University has raised $17,620,553 or 59 percent, of the $30
million Campaign goal. If you would like more
