Gannon Fridley, '23
I graduated from Walsh University in 2023 and currently work as an Information Systems Audit Associate at BDO, USA. In addition, I support business development for Plasma Futures, a nonthermal plasma company based out of the CSE lab at Walsh. My time at Walsh not only provided me with a strong academic foundation but also valuable life experiences that have greatly enhanced my career. Residing in Akron allows me to stay closely engaged with the university on a personal level.
Why did you join the alumni board?
I wanted to stay involved with Walsh University, and joining the Alumni Board felt like the perfect way to strengthen my connection with the Walsh community. My time at Walsh was an incredible experience, and I hope to help ensure that future students have the same opportunity to thrive—both academically and personally.
