It is my honor to serve as the 13th president of Mercy University.  I am humbled to have the opportunity to lead this inspiring community of students, faculty, staff and alumni. 

At Mercy, we are committed to creating opportunities for motivated students who want to transform their lives through education. I am highly motivated by Mercy’s mission and energized by the long-standing foundation and history of this great institution. 

Our focus is on student success and being student-ready, by meeting students’ needs and ensuring a college degree is attainable and affordable. With more than 100 undergraduate and graduate degree and certificate programs across six schools, we are preparing our students for successful careers in natural sciences, health care, business, education, liberal arts and behavioral sciences.  

I am proud to be part of Mercy. I look forward to meeting our community members, learning from you and hearing your thoughts about how we can work together to achieve our aspirations. I hope to see you around campus soon. 

Susan L. Parish
