The Gwynedd Mercy University Chapter of the National Mercy Honor Society, established in 1955, has been organized to recognize students distinguished for their scholarship, fidelity, and service to the University.
The honor society provides its members with opportunities to continue their pursuit of an intellectual life to benefit their colleagues, the University, and the civic community. Students inducted into the honor society have demonstrated scholarship by achieving a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2, have demonstrated fidelity through evidence of upholding the mission and values of the University, including integrity in word and deed, respect for the dignity of each person, service to society, and social justice, and have demonstrated a clear commitment to service to both the University and the larger community.
