Mercy College offers a personalized mentoring program called PACT to help students succeed from enrollment through graduation and career preparation. Through PACT, each student is assigned a mentor who maintains close contact and provides guidance on academic plans, career exploration, financial aid, and more. PACT mentors meet frequently with students and help them develop leadership skills to achieve their full potential. The program aims to revolutionize how the college supports students and is nationally recognized for enhancing retention and career outcomes.
