About Us
Designed to honor Ann Ida Gannon, BVM, an outstanding past president of the original Mundelein College, the former women's college that joined with Loyola in 1991, the Gannon Center has created and developed a solid collection of programs and activities. The Women and Leadership Archives is a center for collecting, preserving and making available primary source materials on women leaders. The multidisciplinary Women's Studies Program, founded in 1979, is the first women's studies program at a Jesuit university. The Institute of Women and Leadership sponsors a variety of creative programs that strengthen and enhance leadership and skills among women undergraduates, alumnae and community members.
