Service has always been at the heart of the Merrimack experience for Emily Hanrahan ’26. This year, she was recognized for her four years of dedication to the MC community with the College’s highest non-academic honor, the Merrimack Medal.

Throughout her undergraduate career, Emily participated in nine SEND trips, leading three of them, while also working with Relay for Life, First Year Seminar and Austin Scholars. After graduation, she will continue her commitment to service and spend a year with FrancisCorps in Syracuse, New York.

Congratulations to Mary Papazian, the 2026 Edward G. Roddy, Jr. Outstanding Teacher of the Year! For the past decade, she has directed Merrimack's Mucci Capital Markets Lab, teaching hundreds of students to use Bloomberg, Morningstar and Capital IQ technologies within the lab’s simulated professional trading floor.

This recognition is a reminder of why she chose this path and inspires her to continue giving her best. For Mary, teaching is not just a profession — it is a privilege.
