Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage Month

We embrace our diverse community and celebrate with you.

Acogemos a nuestra comunidad diversa y celebramos con ustedes.

Our celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month is especially meaningful this year as Mercy marks its 75th Anniversary. As we reflect on our history, we recognize the vibrant contributions of our Hispanic students, faculty and staff who have enriched our University and continue to shape its future. Today, we honor those cultures, traditions and achievements that strengthen our campus, our community and our world.
