The Unveiling of the 'Hurst Book

Many of my posts have discussed a club that I am involved in which is the Student Alumni Association. Since October, a small group of us that makes up the original SAA at Mercyhurst has been working on creating the 'Hurst book. The 'Hurst book is a book that the Alumni department will sponsor to be given to all incoming freshmen. Inside of it we have information on basically everything available at Mercyhurst, including a bit of history and traditions, which we hold in high esteem here! My favorite part of the book is a "bucket list" which lists different annual events that we have here at Mercyhurst that we as a group believe students MUST DO before graduating.

SAA members and all alumni who attended the event!

Here's some of the pages on display

The layout of the pages offer a picture and a description along with a space for students to place their own pictures. When they complete it, they will first and foremost lived through the Mercyhurst experience and they will also have a keepsake and a scrapbook that they can save after they graduate as they become Mercyhurst alumni.

This past week we had a ceremony in the student union and we were so happy that a lot of people from the school showed up to see different pieces of the 'Hurst book that our advisor had printed and blown up on larger sheets of paper to be displayed. I can't wait to see the final, printed copy and I look forward to seeing the freshmen get a copy of it!!

The seniors! We will miss them :(



Our two freshmen!




The juniors!
