Mission

The Association seeks to advance the social, career, and volunteer interests of our alumni, while working to support our students’ learning experience while keeping alumni engaged with the University.

Gwynedd Mercy University has been instrumental not only in my development as a public health professional and nurse, but has shaped my personal goals as well. Joining the Alumni Board will give me the chance to mentor current students and provide resources for new, exciting programs on campus.

—Mary Claire Kastenhuber '22, Alumni Board Member

I applied to be on the Alumni Board because I wanted to give back to the University that made me who I am today. With the help and influence of my lacrosse coaches along with Dr. McGrain and Dr. Phillips, I have become a better person and am forever grateful for them and the University.

—William Allen '22, Alumni Board Member

The Public Health program provided me with so much opportunity, and I am inspired to give back to the community that has shaped my career. I hope to serve GMercyU through the Alumni Board.

—Scott Boyle '23, Alumni Board Member

The Alumni Board has given me the opportunity to stay connected to the University that has been such a huge part of my life, first as a student, many years ago, and then as an Assistant Professor in my later career. Membership has also allowed me to meet and network with fellow alumni, make an impact on the next generation of students, and advocate for all that makes our University so special. It is also a means of continuing to 'live' the Mission and Core Values that are deeply ingrained in every Distinctive Mercy Graduate. This Mission and these Values have played a critical role in both my personal and professional lives. The Board is one way that I can continue to 'give back' to the University that I love and that has given so much to me.
