The college’s web programmer used the board to organize how the new my.mercyhurst portal is structured. By mid-August, it was filled end-to-end in red marker with everything from coding language to web addresses to simple link titles such as “Bookstore.”

“All summer we’ve used that (board) to help figure out what will go where,” Engel said.

Campus construction projects continue through the end of summer at Mercyhurst.

Concrete work is complete on the front entranceway and grass has been seeded near tree saplings. Sedges have been planted in flats atop Zurn Hall's green roof. And wooden panels have been erected near the basketball courts in the Rec Center, the next step in completing new locker rooms for the coming school year.
