Welcome to the Gannon University Virtual Empathy Pop Up Gallery
Going Live:Â September 27th- Oct 2nd 2020
After the Gannon University Empathy Pop Up Gallery, originally scheduled for March of 2020, was shut down due to COVID, our team came back together to reformat the event for an entirely online presentation. Enjoy perusing this gallery of stories, experiences, and art pieces created by students at Gannon and members of the Erie community.
Each day between September 27th- Oct 2nd 2020, Empathy Bound will use this page to post a variety of "exhibits" on various empathy-related topics.
