I chose Mercer because...
The amazing opportunities available early in my undergraduate career and the welcoming community.
What is your favorite memory at Mercer so far?
Creating a service project for the homeless population aimed at mental health in my introduction to ethics class. It was an amazing experience to understand the problems this vulnerable population faces and find ways to help. I also learned about how I can be a more ethical leader in the future.
What is your favorite restaurant in Macon, GA?
Decadent Bakery is the best place if you have a sweet tooth like yours truly! Try the creme brulee, it's lifechanging.
Best advice you have for incoming students?
Don't be afraid to join a club or take a class you have zero experience in. College is about finding your way.
