MENTORS WHO’VE GOT YOUR BACK, ONLY AT MERCY COLLEGEMercy College understands that going to college isn’t easy. It can be tough to juggle class registration, financial aid and career goals, especially when you have to balance a job, family responsibilities and everything else that is important to you. That’s why Mercy built the nationally recognized PACT (Personal Achievement Contract) mentor program, which you can only find at Mercy College.
PACT mentors help you figure out the twists and turns of college. Your mentor is your single point of contact when it comes to everything you have questions about. Whether it’s deadlines, financial aid, scheduling or life issues, trust your mentor to help you through. All you have to do is focus on your grades.
This is not just our promise, it’s our PACT.
You’re not doing italone, we’re in thisTOGETHER!
Amanda Diaz, PACT Mentor
I chose to become a PACT mentor because of the impact that my mentor had on my success when I was a student at Mercy College. Now, I take pride in giving back to my students.

ADVANTAGES OF THE PACT
PROGRAM
I wanted to go to a private, four-year college but they were all so expensive, except Mercy. I know I won’t still be paying for my education 20 years from now.
