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.

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.
