Zach Medlin, Mathematics, ‘25
Through opportunities that this university has given me, I’ve been able to do, honestly, so much more than I would have expected. … It’s taught me that the whole point of your education is to leverage what you’ve learned to benefit other people.
Reema Chande, Global Health Studies and Psychology, '25
I feel like Mercer is one of those schools where you don’t have to choose your passions, and that’s really reflected in the faculty mentorships. You can find a mentor that will help you and build you in a plethora of passions.
