Mission Gwynedd Mercy is a Catholic university rooted in the tradition of the Sisters of Mercy . Our learning community prepares students for successful careers and meaningful lives in a global society .
Core Values As a Mercy University committed to academic excellence , we value :
Integrity in Word and Deed Respect for the Dignity of Each Person Service to Society Social Justice in a Diverse World *
* With a special focus on the Critical Concerns of the Sisters of Mercy : Earth , Immigration , Racism , Non-Violence , Women
Statement on Diversity , Equity and Inclusion ( DEI )
Gwynedd Mercy University ’ s core values of integrity in word and deed , respect for the dignity of all people , service to society , and social justice in a diverse world , place inclusive excellence at the center of our daily work and relationships as a Catholic , Mercy university . Inclusive excellence recognizes that to advance our mission successfully , we must value , engage , and include the rich diversity of all the members of our community .
In seeking to live this commitment faithfully , we must first acknowledge how we are continuously influenced by the collective history of systemic inequity in society at large , despite our commitment to inclusivity . We must learn from our failures and build upon our successes to work toward a more inclusive institution that is rooted in Mercy .
To achieve this , our community must meaningfully internalize this work of transformation ; it will require all to engage in collaborative implementation that strategically integrates inclusion and radical mercy into the curriculum , co-curriculum , administrative structures , practices , decision-making , and culture .
