MERCYHURST UNIVERSITY!

Hi guys!
I'm so sorry it's been so long since I blogged! I got caught up in Midterms and helping with the Senior Class Gift - I promise I didn't forget about you.
But now I'm back with probably one of the most exciting blog posts ever! If you couldn't guess by my post title - and you hadn't already heard the news... Mercyhurst College is now Officially Mercyhurst University! This is awesome news :) That means that my class will be the first class to graduate from Mercyhurst University - I'm so excited!!! This morning the entire student body got an email from the President of the Mercyhurst Dr. Gamble, saying that at 1:45 in the Student Union there would be a very important announcement! So of course I had to go and find out what it was all about. I had a notion this is what it was - but I went just to make sure. The union was packed there were tons of students, teachers, local press and administration there to hear the announcement. This is the video of the announcement and speech!
So for all you future Lakers - you will be the able to roll through those fantastic gates to Mercyhurst University next fall! :)

Until till next time Go MU!!! :)

2012 - It's a new year!

Hey everyone!
I hope you had a great Christmas/Holiday Season & New Years! I was happy to spend a relaxing two weeks at home visiting with family and friends. But now I'm back in Erie and snow is on the ground. We are just back into our 4th week and soon it will be time for midterms! I have projects coming up and I've started to plan out and think about what I need to do in the next few weeks!

I'm a member of the Senior Class Gift Committee and we have some fundraising activities and Senior Week coming up in the next month! Next week we have our Beer and Wine Tasting on campus where we will have local breweries and vineyards come in and talk to us about the different types of beers and wines they make. I'm super excited about it because it's one of the events I helped plan! Hopefully we will have a great turn out and everyone will have fun :)
