Mission

Gwynedd-Mercy College is a Catholic higher-education institution founded and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy. Our mission is to create a learning community rooted in Gospel values and rich in the liberal arts. In an atmosphere of inquiry and dialogue, we seek to combine education for professional competency with the Mercy tradition of service to society.

The following values lie at the heart of higher education in the Mercy tradition:

  • Academic Excellence
  • Community and Collaboration
  • Compassion
  • Competence
  • Dignity of Each Person
  • Integrity
  • Rigorous Intellectual Inquiry
  • Service
  • Social Responsibility
  • Spirit of Hospitality and Valuing Diversity

At Gwynedd-Mercy College we believe that:

  • education is a life-long process that enriches the intellectual, moral and spiritual life of the individual and prepares him/her for an active role in society
  • a solid liberal arts foundation is the best preparation for life and work
  • the cultivation of compassion, intellectual inquiry, dedication to truth, mercy and justice is essential in improving the human condition
  • education is a process of transforming oneself and society
  • individual attention in a caring environment promotes learning
