Alumni Association

Overview

Who We Are

The Mercy Alumni Association, founded in 1923, currently serves more than 9,000 graduates from St. Vincent School of Nursing, Mercy School of Nursing, Mercy College of Northwest Ohio, and Mercy College of Ohio.

Every graduate is considered a member of the Association. Honorary membership may be conferred upon persons who have rendered service to this association or upon any individual whom the association wishes to honor. Such memberships are conferred by a majority vote of the Alumni Board.

Alumni Board

Governance of the Association
