Campus Life

Transcript

Say hello to Alex, a sophomore Occupational Science major and Psychology minor. There are endless opportunities to get involved and have fun at GMercyU, whether it’s cheering on one of their NCAA Division III teams, participating in a club or creating your own, or simply just hanging out. Life is a GMercyU Griffin, is sweet. Tell us more, Alex.

– Thank you, Alex. As a nurse, my mother inspired me to help others to enter the healthcare field, so I knew when I graduated high school, whatever college I picked will be one that valued helping people and Gwynedd Mercy University was that college for me. Thanks to my outgoing personality, I flourished at GMercyU. I joined many clubs, organizations such as Residence Hall Association, Black Student Union, Alpha Lambda Delta and Student Government Association. I’m also a fellow on the track and field team. A fellow Griffin once told me, there’s always something to do on campus and that’s the truth. There’s all kinds of activities throughout the year, such as lectures, musical performances, athletic events, and more. Here at GMercyU, we enjoy different celebrations from various cultures. The Office for Student Engagement plans many events such as the Fall Festival and Christmas Tree Lighting where students can bring family and friends, have a good time. The Student Athlete Advisory Committee also has many events that go on during the year, such as Mr. Griffin, which is a talent contest for student athletes, whereas yours truly won and became Mr. Griffin of the Year. If you visited campus, you may have seen me around as I’m also a Griffin Ambassador, giving tours to future Griffins and welcoming families during our open houses has been a great pleasure. And next year, I’m excited to become a resident assistant to help others in our residence halls. When I start at GMercyU, I never thought I was going to gain such a unique experience. I met people from different ethnicities, religions, and backgrounds. I learned so much about others, their stories and why they chose GMercyU. And I’m excited to continue to learn and become a better version of myself as I grow at Gwynedd Mercy University. Back to you, Alex.

– There’s never a dull moment on GMercyU’s Campus, as evidenced by Alex’s very busy schedule. And if there isn’t something you wanna do on campus that day, you can take a quick train ride to Philly to explore or head up the movie theater and shops right down the road. Thanks again, Alex.
