M ercy U? Strategic Plan Approved GMercyU’s Board of Trustees approved the University’s new five-year Strategic Plan at the December 2018 Board Meeting. The five-year plan, which was created by members of the entire campus community, identifies new initiatives to strengthen GMercyU’s academic, co- curricular, and extracurricular programs. The plan gives GMercyU a shared vision that is rooted in our Mercy values as well as strategic objectives, goals, and benchmarks to gauge progress. Implementation has already begun for several initiatives. Campus Enhancement Project Underway Construction on GMercyU’s latest campus improvement project began shortly after the new year. The project aims to enhance the GMercyU student experience by making campus even more pedestrian-friendly. The first phase of the project includes constructing a road that will go from the Admissions House towards Alexandria Hall. The goal is to have a substantial portion of this new road completed by summer 2019. TODAY 7
