Mercy College's 12th President Tim Hall came to Mercy with an impressive list of accomplishments, then added quite a few more: the College was recognized by the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics as a “Bright Spot in Hispanic Education” and went on to receive the “Seal of Excelencia,” making it the frst private college in the country to be nationally recognized by Excelencia in Education for meaningfully advancing the prospects of its Hispanic students.

Mercy added a new, 350-bed residence hall on its Dobbs Ferry Campus and did a complete makeover of its MercyManhattan Campus with new state-of-the-art facilities, dormitory and academic programs; it purchased and renovated a historic Tarrytown, New York mansion for community and alumni gatherings; it undertook a “teach out” of students from the closing of The College of New Rochelle, which brought in 1,800 students and several new academic programs; and he launched an ambitious student success platform (the “Mercy Success Toolkit”), employing strategies for student engagement and achievement which has signifcantly increased retention and graduation rates for all students, especially our Black and Hispanic students.
