Integrating Research and Service
Mercer’s Research That Reaches Out initiative, an expression of our QEP topic on integrating research and service, is specifically designed to equip students in our residential undergraduate program with the skills required to engage in sophisticated research aimed at solving real problems facing humankind.
We believe that the successful implementation of this plan will help us achieve our ultimate aim: to inspire students to use their gifts and talents to live lives of meaning and purpose.
