I became a grandfather not long ago. That ’s the kind of milestone that prompts one to think about the future. I don’ t imagine I’ll be president of Mercyhurst when Paxton is ready for college, but I’ m confdent there will still be a strong, healthy, vibrant Mercyhurst University here on the hill that he can be proud to attend. I want him to be able to see Mercyhurst as i see it – as a community of learners, of people dedicated to the growth and transmission of knowledge and culture; as a place where goodness and Mercy still matter; as a place of beauty and warm hospitality. No university can aford to be complacent in these days of economic uncertainty and shrinking numbers of high school graduates. But Mercyhurst has never been complacent; Mercyhurst has been open to new ideas since its earliest days. After all this is what Celtic Cross Carpe Diem means, right? Indeed, I often describe Mercyhurst as “an institution on the move,” and the Donated by Heidi Hosey, Ph.D. stories in this issue explore just a few of the reasons. Four years ago we headed two miles north of our gates to launch a new campus in center- city Erie, Saint Bridgid’s Cross a partnership with the Booker T.

Longtime benefactor Bob Miller generously donated his property to expand our North East campus. The sustainable farming operation also moved to North East over the summer, opening up exciting new opportunities for our culinary students. Our faculty are known for the strong relationships they develop with their students, but they ’re scholars as well.

We earned our highest ranking yet from U.S. News & World Report, refecting our growing reputation Mercy Cross for academic excellence. And we’ re honored to be part of two partnerships that will bring exciting new Created and donated resources to our campus and our students. Mercyhurst is now home to the Thomas J. and Michele Ridge by Thomas Hubert Collection, an archive of historic material documenting their service to our region, the state and the nation. Through the generosity of former Trustee John Boyle, his sister Mary and their family, Mercyhurst will also house the Helen Boyle Memorial Archives, named to honor former trustee and board ofcer Helen Boyle of Oil City. The Archives will honor Helen’ s friend, Joan Chittister, OSB, one of our most prominent graduates as well as one of the most infuential religious leaders today. As we move forward, we always recall with gratitude the strong foundation laid for us by the Sisters of Mercy. We honored their legacy this fall by installing Mercy and Celtic crosses in the classrooms of Old Main, the building the Sisters constructed in 1926. The crosses (pictured at left) remind us daily how blessed we are to be the benefciaries of their vision and hard work. Mercy Rosary Cross God bless you, and God bless Mercyhurst.

  • Before They Turn Pro: Superstar Attendance Effects in the Ontario Hockey League (2011-2019)
    Before They Turn Pro: Superstar Attendance Effects in the Ontario Hockey League (2011-2019) Austin Lemieux (0300077748) Major Paper presented to the Department of Economics of the University of Ottawa In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the M.A. Degree Supervisors: Professor Pierre Brochu, Professor Louis-Philippe Morin ECO 6999 Ottawa, Ontario July 20th, 2020 Acknowledgments I would like to thank supervisors Pierre Brochu, and Louis-Philippe Morin for their helpful comments throughout my research. Your guidance and passion helped make this paper both enjoyable to write, and gave me an invaluable learning experience that I truly appreciate. [1] Abstract This paper researches superstar player effects on the announced attendance and the probability of a sellout in the Ontario Hockey League for the 2011-2012 to the 2019-2020 regular seasons. Using a rich panel data set of game-level information, I find superstar players have a significant positive effect on the attendance of regular season games. Superstar players are also found to have an economically significant impact on the probability of a sellout, but this latter result is in most cases statistically insignificant. Finally, the superstar effect for sellouts and attendance are seen to change depending on the definition of a superstar, and also if the superstar plays on the home or away team. [2] 1. INTRODUCTION An intriguing topic in the field of sports economics is the study of attendance demand. Investigating which factors influence fans to attend live sporting events has major implications for sports franchises and leagues, local economies, and also further contributes to our understanding of consumer choice.
