“As President of Mercer University, I challenge you to live up to the dreamers behind this University, cast from its earliest origins and renewed with each generation. We say at Mercer, everyone majors in changing the world. The world needs your unique voice, your God-inspired vision, your intellect, and your heart.” — Dr. Penny L. Elkins, President of Mercer University
Last Tuesday was our Annual Founders Day service which included a Celebration of Calling for all of our new students, some of which joined us online. We were inspired by the words of our new President, Dr. Elkins, as we looked to the past to see where we’ve come from, celebrated the present, and looked to the bright future ahead of us. What a gift to be a part of a school that celebrates the callings of all of our students in this sacred ritual and an absolute honor to be surrounded by those who were so incredibly instrumental in the founding of this institution.
