Dear Campus Community,
As you may know, there have been several social media and news reports this week related to a report of sexual assault on our campus.
I want to be clear: sexual assault is reprehensible and should never be a part of any community—certainly not a learning community and definitely not the Mount Mercy community.

Group visits provide a great overview of Mount Mercy, it programs, its places, and its people. Group visits generally last about two hours, but we can mix in or recommend other activities to suit your needs and interests.

Mount Mercy University recognizes that hate is not a thing of the past—acts of hate occur not only across the world but also right here on campus.
Accordingly, MMU employees and students stand united against hate and reaffirm our Mercy values of compassion and hospitality.
Just because we differ from one another does not give us the right to express hate toward one another. Our differences are welcome; hate is not.

Dr. Jacob Eisenbach was born in Poland in 1923. After the German army invaded his country in 1939, Jacob’s neighborhood in Lodz, a predominantly-Jewish ghetto, became a fenced-in prison camp. The war tore the Eisenbach family apart, taking his father, brother and sister (his mother passed away prior to the invasion). Only Jacob and his brother Sam survived.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (CBS2/FOX28) — The meaning behind the anti-Trump protests can sometimes get lost in the noise, so in an effort to support those who are most vulnerable, many people are turning to a quiet act of solidarity.
Some have chosen to clip one safety pin on their clothes to support those who might have felt attacked during Donald Trump’s campaign.
