Junior Year, time flies!

Me in my MSG gear!
My junior year at Mercyhurst was one of my most memorable academic years so far. In the fall I began working as the Public Relations Coordinator for Mercyhurst Student Government, and quickly realized how enjoyable this field could be. I helped generate open discussion on issues pertaining to students, and I lent a collaborative hand when planning events on campus. In November, I had the privilege of meeting MTVs reality television stars The Buried Life, who came to give a presentation in our Performing Arts Center.

Throughout the winter season, I was able to a lot of fun events both with MSG and my group of friends. We planned out annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony for the Mercyhurst community to participate in. My group of friends also celebrated our traditional Christmas Dinner Party where we got dressed up, went out to eat and even exchanged gifts. For once, the Erie winter was actually pretty mild, so I did not get too snowed in! The winter also brought about some big changes for Mercyhurst. While I started at Mercyhurst College in 2009, January introduced everyone to the brand new Mercyhurst University. This change will benefit students of Mercyhurst so much in the long run and is the right step for Mercyhurst, especially in the global market place. 


This summer I will be in Erie working for the admissions department. I cannot wait for a break from school work, but I of course cannot get away from the good old Hurst! I am sure that I will have wonderful summer adventures to report about and I cannot wait to share my senior year with all of you. Until August you will just have to anxiously await my return, but remember one thing!

Carpe Diem, everyday!
