Misericordia University Parents Guide 2020 A GUIDE FOR PARENTS It starts at the ARCH PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE 2 Parents, I know you have great expectations for your children, especially as they enter their college years. It is certainly an exciting yet challenging time as your family ponders the many options and attempts to fnd the “perfect ft”college or university. Although “perfect ft” is a highly personal assessment, I feel confdent that our university has distinct advantages for many incoming students. Misericordia is committed to the success and happiness of each student. In fact, one our greatest diferentiators is our culture which fosters powerful educational relationships among students, faculty, and staf that lead to professional competence as well as exceptional collaborative abilities and social skills. We know that you want a college that will allow your son or daughter to fulfll their goals while providing for a rewarding future. You want them to have a hands-on, personal experience with their education in a safe, caring environment. You want them to have the support to excel in all of their endeavors. Above all, you want them to be prepared for life and make the most of their potential. Misericordia University provides opportunities for its students to explore their interests and use their talents to enrich their lives and the lives of others. We have served our students in this way for nearly 95 years, with high quality, values-based academics and an environment where students’ abilities and skills are fully developed. So sure are we of the efectiveness of a Misericordia education that our Guaranteed Career Placement Program is available to all full-time, frst-year students. It is this guarantee of success that sets us apart from other colleges and universities. Please take the time to review this brochure as you consider Misericordia University.

Wall Street Journal and Times Higher Education Ranked among its Top U.S. Colleges 7 PROFILES IN BLUE & GOLD What I love most about the Mass Communications and Design program is that you become immediately involved in their extracurricular activities as a frst-year student. My frst year, I was a staf writer for the newspaper, a radio sports broadcaster, and I hosted a TV show! My experiences in the program have landed me internships with ESPN Radio, the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins, and the Philadelphia Phillies. Now that I am a graduate, I will be returning to the Phillies as a freelancer, working alongside their TV broadcast crew. I am incredibly grateful for everything that this program has done for me, not only academically, but personally as well. ~ Sean Lynch ’18 B.A. Mass Communications and Design 8 Misericordia was just one of numerous college acceptances lying on my dining room table four years ago. I chose Misericordia; and in hindsight, I defnitely made the right pick. An injury to my shoulder during a sofball game landed me in physical therapy, and my PT, who was excellent, was a Misericordia graduate. Tis inspired my choice of school and major; but, in the back of my mind, I wanted to become a doctor. Further in the back of my mind, I was not sure it was possible. Hard work and Misericordia, though, made it possible. Starting with bio I and chem I, the professors were excellent. Tey love what they are doing. Tey love where they are, and they love their students. I was a laboratory assistant, organic chemistry and calculus tutor, and I did summer research with Dr. Jefrey Stephens in biophysics and with Dr. Charles Saladino in biochemistry. I even got to present my research at a national scientifc conference in Washington, DC. Misericordia’s convenient location also allowed me to volunteer at two local hospitals and shadow generous physicians in my spare time. Afer multiple acceptances to US MD and DO programs, I soon start the next step of my journey at Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine in Scranton as a frst-year medical student. Misericordia believed in me. Together, we made it happen. I believe in Misericordia. ~ Andrea Nale ’17 B.S.

We came together as scholars from diverse disciplines and research backgrounds with a common interest in the mission of Mercy education and an exchange of ideas, information, and methodologies. We gathered in the first Mercy classroom in Mercy International Centre and at Glendalough—a fifth century monastic settlement renowned for wisdom and learning. With these shared interests and in these settings laden with meaning, we did the work of the Roundtable.
