New students participate in an introductory to college course called LIBA 150 College Success & the Mercy Experience. This is an opportunity to experience interdisciplinary instruction, familiarize yourself with the College and our Mercy values, as well as improve your critical thinking and writing skills and explore and reflect upon the implicit and explicit values of self and the contemporary world. Part of this course is to complete a service learning project.
We provide a list of local service opportunities for students to use as a resource and guide to organizing projects. We hope that this will launch you into serving the local community(s) during your time at the Mount!
We offer a grant of up to $75 to help with supplies and costs towards student projects to help alleviate any financial burden.
