Alumni Associations
Nursing Alumni Association Purpose Alumni Involvement Committees
Two alumni associations support graduates of Mercy College:
- The Nursing Alumni Association, which is actively governed by a 14-member board of directors
- The Allied Health Alumni Association is for graduates of all other certificate and degree programs. This association does not currently have an active board of directors.
A committee of the Nursing Alumni Association has begun to plan for the eventual merger of the all college alumni into a single association, with the possible development for career specific chapters to provide unique benefits, such as CEU workshops.
More news and feedback on plans will be provided in late summer 2011.

- Build a communication network and hold functions for maintenance of social and professional relationships.
