Gannon University has announced that Father Shane Mathew has begun his role as its new interim provost, placing a longtime university leader and educator at the helm of the institution’s academic mission.<\/p>\n

Father Shane will oversee Gannon’s academic programs and strategic priorities in his new role, bringing with him a combination of pastoral, academic, and administrative experience.<\/p>\n

A priest of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Erie, Father Shane was ordained in 2005 and has served in a variety of leadership and educational positions throughout his ministry and professional career. His experience spans parish ministry, Catholic secondary education, and higher education administration.<\/p>\n

Since joining Gannon University in 2015, Father Shane has held several leadership and teaching roles, including serving as a university trustee, instructor in the theology department, associate vice president for mission immersion, and most recently, associate provost for mission immersion.<\/p>\n

University officials said his extensive experience and deep connection to Gannon’s mission make him well-positioned to guide the institution during this transition.<\/p>\n
