The Manhattan University community is saddened by the passing of Frank “Gags” Gagliano, a member of the Manhattan University Athletic Hall of Fame and one of the most respected coaches in track and field history.

A Bronx native, Gagliano coached at Manhattan from 1969 to 1974 alongside fellow Hall of Famer Fred Dwyer. He helped the Jaspers win Metropolitan and IC4A titles and the 1973 NCAA Indoor National Championship. His teams also set an American record in the 4 x 1 mile relay and turned in a world-record performance in the distance medley relay.

Over more than 50 years of coaching, he worked with 27 Olympians and more than 40 four-minute milers, and he shaped the sport for generations.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Roberta, his four children, his grandchildren, and everyone lucky enough to have been coached by him. Rest in peace, Gags.

Thank you to everyone who spent the day with us at our second Fall Open House! 💚

Prospective students and their families sat down with our professors, learned about campus clubs, enjoyed lunch from food trucks, and caught a fantastic performance from the Manhattan University Singers. The whole campus was full of energy and Jasper spirit.

We’re so grateful to our student ambassadors, faculty, and staff for all the work they put in to make the day a success. You made every guest feel welcome!

To everyone who joined us in Riverdale, it was a pleasure having you on campus, and we look forward to welcoming you back.

Then vs. now, Quad edition! 📸

Our old photo is from 1924, making it just over 100 years old, and the Quad is still the heart of campus. The fashion has changed and the trees have grown, but it’s still where Jaspers gather, study, and soak up the sun between classes. 💚

What’s your favorite memory on the Quad?

We’re grateful to share that the Brothers of the Christian Schools have donated $3 million to Manhattan University to enhance the student experience and strengthen our Lasallian Catholic mission. 💚

The gift will help us grow the programs that support students inside and outside the classroom, from academic success and personal growth to belonging, leadership and service.

“The Brothers of the Christian Schools are proud to deepen our longstanding partnership with Manhattan University through this significant investment in its students,” said Brother Robert Schaefer, FSC, the Provincial of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. “For generations, Manhattan has brought the Lasallian mission to life by providing a transformative education, one that joins academic excellence with faith, service and concern for each student. We are pleased to support the University as it creates even more opportunities for students to learn, grow and lead.”

Manhattan was founded by the Brothers of the Christian Schools in 1853 and is the oldest higher education institution they established in the United States. More than 170 years later, this gift carries that shared mission forward for a new generation of Jaspers. Thank you, Brothers! 🙏

Six new programs arrived at Manhattan University this fall.🍂

Jaspers can now major in cybersecurity, data science, computational neuroscience or integrated marketing communication, and students in any major can add a minor in artificial intelligence or sustainability studies.

Faculty from all three of our schools built them with one goal in mind: graduates who understand the technology and can use it responsibly. 💚

What a way to start the season, Jasper Nation! 🏀💚

Draddy Gymnasium came alive last night for Manhattan Madness, our official kickoff to the 2026-27 basketball season. The stands filled with Jaspers as we welcomed our men’s and women’s teams to the court. Our cheer and dance teams wowed the crowd with their performances, and the Pep Band had everyone singing along to crowd favorites from start to finish.

To everyone who joined us, thank you for showing what Jasper pride looks like. We can’t wait to see you back at Draddy this season!
