As you explore our beautiful campus, you’ll discover what it means to be part of the Georgian Court community—a place where students are at the heart of everything we do, guided by the Mercy core values of respect, integrity, justice, compassion, and service. At Fall Fest, you’ll have the opportunity to meet current students, faculty, and staff; attend faculty-led sessions about academic departments; and hear from alumni about the long-lasting impact of a Georgian Court education.
“Georgian Court is a university unlike any other,” said Dr. Davis. “Grounded in the values of the Sisters of Mercy, we’re proud to showcase our mission and show prospective students what sets us apart.”
The day’s agenda includes campus tours, giving you a closer look at our historic buildings, state-of-the-art classrooms, and hands-on learning spaces. Prospective freshmen will have some fun participating in activities like the scarecrow contest and dorm room competition. Graduate students can attend dedicated information sessions to learn about our admissions process, graduate degree programs, and more.
Enjoy lunch in the Raymond Dining Room and wrap up the day with a reflective moment in the Mansion Chapel. “We’re excited to welcome everyone to Fall Fest,” said Priscilla Alicea, Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Admissions. “At Georgian Court, you’ll find a community that supports and encourages each other every step of the way.”
