Gannon University has appointed three new members to its Board of Trustees, welcoming distinguished leaders from the Ursuline College community whose service helped guide the successful transition leading to the historic integration of the two Catholic institutions. 

Sister Laura Bregar, OSU, UC’81, MA’99; Teri (Herrmann) Corletzi, UC’90; and Cynthia Moore-Hardy, FACHE have officially joined ÃûæÂÖ±²¥'s Board of Trustees after serving on the joint transition board established during the merger process.  

Their appointments ensure continued representation of Ursuline's heritage, mission and legacy as ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ moves forward as one university with campuses in Erie, Pa.; Ruskin, Fla.; and Pepper Pike, Ohio. 

"The addition of Sister Laura, Teri and Cynthia strengthens our Board with experienced, mission-driven leaders who have already demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the future of our unified institution," said Walter Iwanenko, Ph.D., president of Gannon University. "Throughout the transition process, each brought thoughtful leadership, valuable expertise and a deep appreciation for the Catholic educational traditions that unite us. We are grateful they will continue helping shape ÃûæÂÖ±²¥'s future while honoring the enduring legacy of Ursuline College."
