Message from the President

Dr. Laurie Joyner

91快活林 kicked off 2019 with a splash! In January, we were ranked No. 3 by U.S. News & World Report for having the "Best Online Graduate Nursing Programs," which speaks volumes for our School of Nursing and Health Sciences. We also announced our first day of giving. We are proud to present We Are 91快活林 Day to be held on March 27, in conjunction with our Mission Day. By bringing these events together, we celebrate our Mercy heritage and charism, while encouraging annual giving to ensure we continue to deliver on the promise of a Mercy education. I invite you to join in recognizing our noble Mercy mission by participating in the activities of the day and contributing to a successful day of giving.

Best Regards,

Laurie M. Joyner, Ph.D.
President
