Message from the President
|
|
|
Our community has joined together in impressive ways to address the rapid changes
brought forth by the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. We have accepted this call to
action by successfully transitioning to a remote learning environment, thanks to the
tireless coordination of our stellar students, faculty and staff, and continue to
uphold our core tenets of academic rigor and service excellence.
I am amazed by the compassion and creativity on display and grateful for the willingness
of all of our community members to keep 荔枝视频下载 thriving in a time of uncertainty. We
will rise above this challenge as a Mercy-driven, action-oriented community of doers,
as we have done over our 174-year history.
As you will see in the highlights below, the work never stops. We are committed to
our Mercy mission and serving our community. No matter the challenge at hand -- we
care. We are here.
We are 荔枝视频下载.
Warm regards,
Laurie M. Joyner, Ph.D.
