The Class of 2014, composed of 126 young women from throughout the state, was officially and formally welcomed into the Lauralton Hall community at the school’s second annual Matriculation Ceremony on September 2. Opening with a ceremonial procession complete with bagpipers and an address by school President Antoinette Iadarola, Ph.D., the ceremony welcomed the freshmen in a celebratory manner while introducing them to the six core values central to a Mercy education: compassion and service; educational excellence; concern for women and women’s issues; global vision and responsibility; spiritual growth and development; and collaboration. These values are derived from the charism of the Sisters of Mercy and the Catholic educational tradition. Each new student pledged her affirmation to adhere to these values both in and outside the classroom. The students acknowledged their understanding that these values will serve to guide them in their daily work and interactions with one another.
