Mercy College celebrated its first Founders' Day on October 26, 2008. Mary "Mimi" Lyon received the inaugural Founders' Day Medal for her contributions to Mercy College through her late husband Frank Lyon's creation of the Daddy Short Legs Scholarship. The scholarship provides short-term financial assistance to Mercy College seniors in need. Dr. Kimberly Cline, Mercy College's president, believes the new Founders' Day tradition is important for recognizing individuals who have contributed to the College's continuous growth.

First-Ever Founders' Day Celebrated By Mercy College
Published on Monday, October 27, 2008
October 27, 2008- Dobbs Ferry, NY - October 26, 2008 marked a special occasion for Mercy College,
alumni, faculty, staff and friends. The day-long celebration commemorated the beginning of a new College
legacy, Founders' Day.
Mary "Mimi" Lyon, widow of Frank Lyon, received the College's inaugural Founders' Day Medal. This
award will be presented annually to individuals who have contributed to the continuous growth of Mercy
College through the founding of the traditions and programs that have become part of the Mercy College
experience. The late Frank Lyon created the Daddy Short Legs Scholarship, an endowed scholarship fund
offering short-term financial assistance for living expenses to Mercy College seniors with a substantial need.
This scholarship was established September of 2001 Lyon anonymously made a contribution to one of the
students of Mercy College who was in need of financial assistance. As Frank Lyon maintained contact with
Mercy College, he learned of other students with similar circumstances. He then established a fund of
$50,000, naming it the Daddy Short Legs Fund after Jean Webster's book, Daddy Long Legs, about an
orphan girl whose education was funded by an anonymous donor.
Dr. Kimberly Cline, president of Mercy College, believes this new tradition is important for the College and

surrounding communities. "As we enter what promises to be one the most important periods in the history
of Mercy College, it is only fitting that we recognize the individuals and traditions that have brought us to
where we are and that have made our promising future possible."
Nicole Sheindlin and Pamela N. Minyard were also honored by Mercy College for sharing the values and
mission of Mercy College within their organizations. In 2007, Sheindlin launched the Her Honor Mentoring
Program. She co-instituted the 25-week program to assist at-risk girls at Mamaroneck High School. The
objective of the program is to link students who plan to attend college with self-motivated female mentors
in the community, and to display how the domino effect of hard work followed by a career you are
passionate about results in confidence and independence.
Pamela N. Minyard, founder and executive director of Giolai, a division of Tomorrow Leaders, Inc., is a
Westchester based not-for-profit organization. Giolai's goal is to enhance the future for girls ages 11 to 18
who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Minyard helps girls to become responsible, independent and
successful students who will mature into equally successful adults and members of their communities.
The Grow Garden was named for Dr. Ann E. Grow, in her honor for her outstanding teaching, devoted
service and steadfast passion for the mission of Mercy College. Dr. Grow has been a cornerstone of the
Mercy College community throughout her 45 of service at the College.
During her remarks, Dr. Kimberly Cline said of Dr. Grow, "Ann is the embodiment of the Mercy College
spirit. Her passion for educating the students of Mercy College is unparalleled. Today we celebrate Ann's
return to her first love-teaching, and we publicly thank her for her administrative legacy during which she
took on no fewer than 10 different administrative positions."
Joseph Valenti, vice president of Institutional Advancement concluded, "All of us at Mercy College are
grateful for the enormous contribution and dedication of the honorees for this Inaugural Founders' Day.
There is a sense of excitement at Mercy College deriving from the knowledge that we are poised to build
upon a mission and tradition that is even more relevant today than at the time of the College's founding. Our
Founders' Day celebration offered the College community an opportunity to be re-inspired by the mission
that continues to move us forward."

9. Mercy College was once referred to as the
best-kept secret in the Northeast.
While this may be a catchy phrase, it’s not the truth.
We are no longer a secret.
We are a vibrant community of learners and of teachers, passionate about doing what we say and
saying what we mean.
We believe a high-quality education must not only be affordable, but that same education must
arm our graduates with the skills they need to succeed in their chosen career paths. And no, we
don’t just mean textbook knowledge. We mean everything from interview skills and leadership to
career-specific training and preparation in fields where jobs are in demand.
Think you know Mercy College?

10. When we say Mercy College is affordable,
we mean it.
According to 2008-2009 tuition data, Mercy College offers the most affordable tuition of just
about every private college or university in New York, and in some cases is nearly half the cost of
other institutions.
Coupled with Mercy College’s scholarship offerings, the extra financial support from the New
York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) and federal Pell grants, the financial obligations of a
college education are reduced without sacrificing quality.
What do all these numbers mean?
Mercy College graduates will not be saddled
with a debt-load they will struggle to repay.
We want our graduates to have the best
possible opportunity for financial success.
It’s that simple.

11. When we say Mercy College is revolutionary,
we mean that too.
Sure, our groundbreaking PACT Program has a catchy
name, but what does it really mean?
It means one student + one professional mentor for four years = academic excellence, stellar
student services and outstanding career preparation.
Every student deserves a guide, a mentor, someone who will always be there to listen
and offer advice. Studies show that even high-achieving students benefit from this
personal interaction.
Together, student and mentor create a customized plan designed to guarantee academic
excellence. Students participating in the PACT are exposed to cultural opportunities that
abound in the New York metropolitan area, the breadth of community service organi-
zations available, national service opportunities and international study experiences.
We told you it was revolutionary.

12. We begin each day with an
expectation of quality – from our
students and from our faculty and staff.
Mercy College mixes keen academic minds and professional experts to ensure all teach-
ers are current and the best in their respective fields. Faculty include Fulbright Scholars,
published and national best-selling authors.
At Mercy College, faculty members know students. 94 percent of all undergraduate classes have
fewer than 30 students and 70 percent have fewer than 20 students.
The distinguished Mercy College Honors Program, established in 1971, offers unique prepara-
tion for high achieving students through exceptional academic challenges, an enriched learning
experience, and engaging co-curricular activities.
So what do you get when you mix great teachers with small classes and a challenging
academic environment?
The perfect recipe for WOW.

13. What says big stretch and flexibility better than
yoga or a rubber band?
Providing a customized high-quality education isn’t just a marketing ploy. It’s the real deal. We work
with our students to design a personal plan that meets the demands of their unique schedules.
Over 90 undergraduate and graduate degree programs are available, including over 25 online
degrees in hot career fields, such as Homeland Security, Health Care, Sport Management, Criminal
Justice, Information Technology, Education, and Business.
Flexible online options provide the same high-quality education available on our scenic main
campus in Dobbs Ferry and four other metropolitan New York campus locations.
We offer evening and weekend classes as well as online
programs. Want to mix and match? You can take the
hybrid approach: take classes both on site and
online and complete your degree faster.

14. The Mercy College
School of Business
means business.
The School of Business focuses on flexibility, real-world
application and academic rigor. The Corporate and
Homeland Security program (B.S.) is the first in the nation
and only program of its kind that combines both business and
security programs in the U.S.
Business schools are only as strong as their alumni. Mercy College
graduates have gone on to make names for themselves as chairman
and CEO of Parade Magazine; COO of MTV Networks International;
Partners and CFO’s of companies such as Perella Weinberg Partners,
LLP and PriceWaterhouse Coopers; vice presidents of companies such
as Time Warner, Ralph Lauren and many others.
Surprised?
Don’t be. Some of the best business minds today
learned their skills from Mercy College.

15. The Mercy College School of Education
Educates future educators.
The School of Education is recognized as a leader in the preparation and certification of outstand-
ing teachers, and is highly ranked in the placement of administrators in the New York City public
school system.
Want more WOW?
The School of Education is also one of the most racially and ethnically diverse schools in the
nation, ranking in the top 10 by Diverse Education.com.
They have been prominently ranked in a slew of reports. Rather than bore you with the details,
we’ll save you the trouble.
The bottom line is that students who study education at Mercy College are exceptionally better-
prepared (average of 31 percent better) for successful careers than their counterparts in other
institutions across the country.
Oh...we’re not bragging, but
the 2009 National Teacher of
the Year graduated from the
School of Education with dual
certification in Elementary and
Special Education.

16. The School of Health and Natural Sciences
provides stellar preparation and training
for our future caregivers.
This is a strong claim.
We back it up with the following:
• 85 percent of the School of Health and Natural Sciences faculty are actively con-
ducting research in their individual fields and training the scientists of tomorrow.
• The employment rate in all programs is 100 percent and The American Physical
Therapy Association acknowledged Mercy College’s Physical Therapy graduate
program for a 92 percent pass rate and 100 percent placement rate.
• The Veterinary Technician Program has had a 100 percent pass rate on the National
Veterinary Technician Examination for the last 15 years.
• Prominent alumni positions include: CEO VNA Hudson Valley; vice president
Montefiore Medical Center; and Director of Nursing, Office Mental Health, New York
State; and chair of the Board of the National Association for Homecare and Hospice.
We believe it is our responsibility to be an engaged member of our global commu-
nity. We don’t live in a vacuum. There is a very real, and very concerning health care
crisis in the United States, and the State of New York, and we will not stand idly by.
Colleges, like people, can act and change the world in the process.

17. The School of Liberal Arts teaches students
how to think and become lifelong learners.
A careful study of computer programming or mathematics or music or logic or good
poetry--or all of these--will irresistibly demonstrate the structure of thought and
knowledge and intellectual movement, and will create the habit of organized
thinking and of rational analysis.
Good judgment, like wisdom, depends upon a thoughtful and rather
extensive acquaintance with many areas of study. And good judgment
requires the ability to think independently, in the face of pressures, dis-
tortions, and overemphasized truths. A liberal arts education at Mercy
College teaches students how to think, which is to say, it will teach them
how to live. And this benefit alone makes such an education more prac-
tical and useful than any job-specific training ever could.
Roy Disney believes in a liberal arts education at Mercy College. His
Center for Animation is the technologically rich centerpiece for study in
computer animation and design.
That’s right, Roy Disney.
He does know a thing or two about success.

18. The Mercy College School of Social and
Behavioral Sciences fosters caring in our
global community.
From learning to treat one person at a time, to helping individuals and families better manage
everyday issues, or working within a large organization, the Mercy College School of Social and
Behavioral Science provides an education that can lead to a career of caring in an environment
of success in our global community.
We don’t just say these things to sound positive. We practice it.
A Mercy College faculty member was named one of National Geographic’s Emerging Explorers
for 2009 for his work in the area of Renewable Energy.
Thomas Taha Rassam Culhane is an urban planner whose organization Solar
CITIES teaches residents in Cairo’s poorest neighborhoods how to build and
install rooftop solar water heaters and other
renewable energy, water and waste manage-
ment systems. More than 30 solar tanks now
dot the rooftops of Coptic Christian and Islamic
neighborhoods.

19. We’ll skip the boring “About Mercy College”
closing and just remind you of the following:
Mercy College is private and extremely affordable.
We have a beautiful main campus in Dobbs Ferry and four other incredibly convenient
campus locations.
We have smart faculty who also happen to be good people.
We offer a unique combination of over 90 high-quality undergraduate and graduate programs
that prepare our students for nine of the 10 most in-demand jobs according to YAHOO!
Don't forget about our small class sizes, revolutionary PACT
Program dedicated personal interaction, and distinguished
Honors Program.

20. Since it’s always good to end with
a big finish, we couldn’t resist the
opportunity to also state:
Mercy College is proud to be one of the 851 colleges and universities nationwide that
is considered “SAT optional,” alongside institutions such as Wake Forest University,
George Mason University and Providence College.
We’re featured as a Smart Choice by Smart Choices: Peterson’s Honors Programs &
Colleges, 4th Edition.
We’re highlighted in Cool Colleges as one of the most exciting schools in the U.S.
that challenges, nurtures, and inspires its students.
Mercy College is a member institution of the elite National Collegiate Honors Council, the
premiere organization for honors education in the U.S.
Mercy College’s highly competitive Division II athletics program was featured in Peterson’s
Sports Scholarships & Athletic Programs, with 14 men’s and women’s varsity athletic teams.
In addition to being a long-time member of Model UN, Mercy College is also an NGO (non-
governmental organization) associated with the United Nations through the Department of
Public Information.
In the Harvard Business School press classic, Funding a College Education: Finding the Right
School for Your Child and the Right Fit for Your Budget, Mercy College was highlighted as a
National Collegiate Honors Council school.
