Senior Class of 2012: Senior Gift!

The senior class is a big deal for a lot of people for a lot of reasons, but what a lot of people don't know is that the senior class also gives a gift to the school to leave a legacy. At least I know when I was a freshman, I had no idea what the senior class gift was until Spring term when it was revealed to the school. As a senior, I am apart of the Senior Gift Committee and has been a great experience so far during the year. It's great to get together with your classmates and talk about what you would like to leave as your legacy to the school.

This year, the committee has just announced to the school that our gift is going to be a "revamping" of the Student Union Great Room, which we are helping Mercyhurst Student Government (MSG) with. The basic idea is that we are going to help MSG turn the union into a game room with big screen TV's, gaming systems, movies, etc. Want to make it a place for students to want to come to and have fun on the weekends or weeknights when they just want to hang out with friends or want to get out of their dorm/apartment. 

Right now the committee is raising money in order to provide the items for MSG. Our basic target are seniors, but we are always looking for any supporters of the college to donate as well! If you will be attending Mercyhurst in the future, then you will definitely get to enjoy the Senior Class of 2012's gift to the college! The picture below is what the union is going to look like when new doors and windows get added to it. If you'd like to read more about the gift, please visit the Merciad article
