Mercer has prepared me for my future by allowing me to have difficult conversations and to examine my own beliefs and my own privileges in a safe environment.

Mercer is special to me because everyone is different. You can be a traditional student and go here during the day. You can be a night student and work during the day and go at night. Everyone comes from a different background … but when we all come together in the classroom, all of that kind of goes away, and we all can have discussions about our common interest.

My laboratory experience at Mercer took a naïve high schooler and transformed him into an aspiring academic. … It was the first time I ever saw innovation in action. No experience is comparable to that achievement, that feeling that I was contributing to something meaningful and had created something new.
