==History==
Gannon University was first established in 1933 as the two-year Cathedral College by the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Erie|Diocese of Erie]]. In 1944, the school became the four-year men's school Gannon College of Arts and Sciences, named in honor of the then-Bishop of Erie, [[John Mark Gannon]], the driving force behind its opening and development. The college became coeducational in 1964 and gained university status in 1979.<ref>{{cite web |publisher=Gannon University |url=http://www.gannon.edu/about/history/default.asp |title=A Brief History of Gannon University |access-date=2007-05-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120119134014/http://www.gannon.edu/about/history/default.asp |archive-date=2012-01-19 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=About the Diocese: 1918–1966 Golden Era|publisher=[[Roman Catholic Diocese of Erie]]|url=http://www.eriercd.org/history3.asp|access-date=2007-05-03|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070518080456/http://www.eriercd.org/history3.asp|archive-date=2007-05-18}}</ref>
