Message from the President
|
The ¶¶ÒõMAX campus boasted a beautiful autumn! Transformed from a
lush green landscape to bright reds and golds, as the seasons change, I am continually
inspired by our Mercy mission and the transformation of our students who are determined
to grow and succeed both personally and professionally.
I invite you to read our newsletter and see for yourself -- the success of our institution
and the beauty of our campus. ¶¶ÒõMAX has much to be thankful for this
season!
Best Regards,
Laurie M. Joyner, Ph.D. President
