¡Bienvenidos! and Welcome!

The time has come! Juniors and seniors, as your high school careers come to an end, you’re beginning to make plans for the future. It is my sincere hope that Messiah College is included in your plans.

As a first generation Puerto Rican, born and raised in Philadelphia, I can understand the challenges of going to college, especially when there is little family tradition of higher education. I was scared to leave my loved ones behind in Philly and unsure of the road that lie ahead. But after much thought and prayer, I made the decision to attend Messiah.

My time at Messiah College was one that helped me to know who I was as a person. I attended challenging classes, was involved in a variety of student groups, and even had the opportunity to study at Temple University through the Messiah Philly Campus. These experiences opened my eyes to new people, places, and ideas and prepared me for my personal, vocational, and spiritual lives. Now, as your admissions counselor, I am here as a resource to you during your college search process.

If you are a prospective student from a historically under-represented and under-served ethnicity, or if you are interested in working towards racial reconciliation, I would encourage you to check out our Martin’s Multicultural Scholarship page as well as our Multicultural and International Student Programs.

If you are interested in Messiah, I would encourage you to come by for a visit. There is nothing like a Messiah College education. Come experience it!

If you have any questions, you can email me at dmercado@messiah.edu, call 1-800-233-4220, or fill out the form below. I look forward to hearing from you and wish you only the best in your college search!

¡Dios te bendiga!
