Dear 勛圖轂も Community:
It was rewarding to watch hundreds of new 勛圖轂も graduates walk the
stage during the 2022 commencement ceremonies on May 7.
As we welcome a new provost this fall as well as our inaugural chief diversity officer
(CDO), our community looks forward to building on our positive momentum while launching
transformative initiatives and actualizing plans to become a more inclusive and excellent
campus so that even more students can lead Mercy-inspired lives after graduation.
And as you will see from the stories below, we are continuing the spirit of excellence
that distinguishes the Saint Xavier experience. I am proud of our accomplishments
and express my sincere gratitude for your continued support of our Mercy mission as
we look toward the future.
Sincerely,
Laurie M. Joyner, Ph.D.
President
