NAME Emily Mercier ’21

HOMETOWN Cumberland, Rhode Island

WHY SHE CHOSE HOLY CROSS “After I was accepted, I came to an open house and met a lot of current students representing their various clubs and extracurricular activities. The opportunity here to get involved in the things you love, as well as the friendly and welcoming attitude of all the students, faculty, and staff, really sealed the deal!”

ACTIVITIES Prospective student outreach, Off the Record a capella group, Alternate College Theatre

WHAT SHE’S MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO Exploring Worcester, studying basic acting next semester, and going to football games

WHY SHE’S BLOGGING “I am blogging first because I am extremely interested in online publications and communications. I am a huge social media nerd — YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Snapchat — you name it, I use it! I love all these platforms in their own ways, and blogging just seemed like a natural extension of this. Also, I am blogging because I love Holy Cross and can’t wait to share all the experiences from my freshman year with people who are in the same situation I was in not too long ago.”
