Mercy College is deeply embedded in the Bronx — offering programs, partnerships and initiatives that serve both Mercy students and the local community. This intentional community engagement strategy is driven by the leadership at Mercy, with Executive Director of Recruitment for the Bronx Campus Cecil Wright, Ed.D., and Vice President, MercyManhattan and Bronx Campuses Scorpio Rogers in the driver’s seat. They have spent the past several months reconnecting with community leaders and building partnerships to further Mercy’s impact and create even more opportunities for students to learn skills and build knowledge that will benefit them after graduation.
For example, Mercy’s Bronx Campus has become a top producer of health care professionals in the New York area. The campus houses several Mercy College School of Health and Natural Sciences (SHNS) programs, including the second-degree nursing bachelor’s program and the physician assistant master’s program. There is an entire floor at the Bronx Campus that is dedicated to SHNS programs with some of the most stateof-the-art simulation facilities in the Bronx. These simulation facilities enable students to enhance their skills and knowledge across a variety of patients and situations before they start their clinical placements. There continues to be high demand for health care professionals in the area, and the Bronx Campus plays an important role in training high-quality professionals to fill those roles.
