Women's History Month 2024
The Mercer University Libraries (MUL) is proud to celebrate Women’s History Month on behalf of our students, faculty, and staff. During the month of March, we are acknowledging women in education, such as teachers, professors, deans, principals, etc. We also want to give a special thank you to all of the women, both past and present, at Mercer University, who have furthered Mercer’s mission “to teach, to learn, to create, to discover, to inspire, to empower, and to serve.” Visit our Instagram page to learn more about the women who have contributed to Mercer University.
