Mercy College Unveils New Brand Identity Program

DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. -- The new Mercy College brand is being unveiled this spring to celebrate the grit and enthusiasm of Mercy students. 

Driven, obsessed, unstoppable, hungry for a great education and determined to have a rewarding career — these qualities describe the students of Mercy College in a new branding initiative unveiled this month.

The program was developed to inspire and educate students, families, alumni, donors and the general public about the college.

College President Timothy Hall explained that, while Mercy College has approximately 10,000 students and 50,000 alumni, it is not as well-known as it should be.

“As a private college with excellent professional schools, we have an incredible offering of relevant curriculum, affordable fees, generous aid, dedicated professors and personal attention to ensure that students find their individual pathway to success,” Hall said.

Chief Advancement Officer Bernadette Wade, who leads the college’s strategy for the new brand, said “Everything we say and write—everything we do—is inspired by our students and their unique stories of finding their way through college to a better life.” 

“We want our messaging to be bold, no-nonsense statements of our culture,” she added.

The new brand voice is also aiming to reactivate the college’s alumni. 

Director of Alumni Relations Alexis McGrath said “Our alumni are busy with their careers and their families and we want to remind them that Mercy is here to support them as we always have been. We also want them to pause, be proud and take stock of the importance of their college degree from Mercy. 

The new brand messages will capture their stories and serve as inspiration for the next generation.” An important goal of the new messaging is to encourage students to tough it out and stick to their commitment to higher education. 

“A college degree is a necessary ticket to getting ahead in this dynamic economy,” said Hall. 

“Keeping students in school and graduating on time is a top priority, and this branding program both invites determined students to join us and encourages our current students to stay the course. Mercy College is not just about words,” he added. “Our support for students— from finances to intensive mentoring — is second to none in the region.”
