What makes Hurst home? You do.

This fall, we’re launching You Make Hurst Home, a campus-wide celebration of our students and the light they bring to Mercyhurst. Share your own reflections, stories, and moments of connection with the hashtag #YouMakeHurstHome.

June 17 is National Mascot Day, but we never need a reason to appreciate Luke the Laker! Whether he's playing the bagpipes on Hurst Day, studying outside, or serving as a role model for our students, Luke is an irreplaceable part of Mercyhurst. ☘️ ⚓
