Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1929, this diverse, inclusive Mercy University embodies the values of its founders, offering its students transformational educational opportunities that empower them to excel in their chosen work as compassionate, responsible leaders in the creation of a just and merciful world.
In today’s societal landscape, these espoused values have never been more relevant.
