Carlow University Round Table

The Carlow University Round Table invites members of the Mercy higher education community to celebrate our Mercy roots and explore our common heritage.

Since the first Round Table in 2007, more than 163 scholars from diverse disciplines and research backgrounds with a common interest in the mission of Mercy education journeyed to Ireland for an exchange of ideas, information, and methodologies. Participants have shared that their experience was both intellectual and spiritual inspiring a deeper connection with the Mercy Mission in their professional and personal lives.
