INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS SITE VISITS
 
   If you would like to arrange as an individual to visit a local business in a particular industry, please prepare a brief proposal that includes (1) the industry you would like to visit, (2) your survey instrument, and (3) a set of proposed outcomes for the visit.  Your proposal should not include any specific business; it should just propose an industry.  Gannon University will make arrangements for which business you can visit in an industry, per our established contacts.  The first 3 to submit a complete proposal to the ISO will be invited to meet with Ms. Cheryl Rink of Gannon’s Center for Experiential Learning to select the particular site and prepare for the visit. Based upon the success of these first 3 site visits, the Center for Experiential Learning will consider accommodating further requests.  You can email your proposals to the ISO at global@gannon.edu.
 
AUDITING CLASSES AT GANNON UNIVERSITY
 
   Although the spring semester is drawing to a close, the summer sessions will begin soon. If you are interested in auditing a particular class, please indicate which class you have in mind to the ISO prior to the start of the session. Catalogs with course listings are available online through GUXpress or on paper in the ISO, Deans’ offices, and the Registrar. Only a limited number of audits may be considered and final decision will rest with the instructor.  Please visit the ISO to discuss auditing classes.
