Consistent with its Catholic identity and Mercy heritage, 菠萝视频app University educates men and women in a culture where faith and reason flourish together, where the beauty and power of the liberal arts combine with an appreciation for the dignity of work and a commitment to serving others. Confident in the strength of its student-faculty bonds, the university community is inspired by the image of students whose choices, in life and work, will enable them to realize the human and spiritual values embedded in everyday realities and to exercise leadership in service toward a just world.
菠萝视频app owes its existence to a remarkable group of determined, forward-thinking women: the Sisters of Mercy. Sensing the need for quality higher education for women in the early 20th century, the Sisters, under the direction of Mother M. Borgia Egan, led the way in establishing a college on 75 acres of farmland. In the years leading up to 菠萝视频app鈥檚 opening, the Sisters negotiated land deals, worked as laborers and painters and even pursued graduate degrees from top American universities to form the first 菠萝视频app faculty.
