Alumnae Shine at Mercy's Career Day

On December 7th Mercy hosted 50 professional women, mostly Mercy alumnae, during Mercy's Career Day.  Miss Michigan Angela Corsi '00, Diana Jacokes '67 and Fanchon Stinger '89 kicked off the day at the opening assembly sharing advice for success.  Following the assembly, each student attended three sessions about various careers.  Popular sessions ranged from Physician to Flight Attendant.  Many thanks to all Mercy alums who participated!  Check out  Career Day pictures on Mercy's web.
