Trustee gifts fund first endowed Mercy chair The generous support of two Mercyhurst College trustees – William C. Sennett, immediate past chair, and the late Charles A. Dailey Jr. – has created an endowed chair at Mercyhurst. President Dr. Thomas J. Gamble announced that Dr. Mary Hembrow Snyder has been appointed the Endowed Chair in Mercy and Catholic Studies, and described her as “a dedicated teacher, scholar and administrator whose passion for the charism of the Sisters of Mercy, for theological studies, and for the mission of Mercyhurst College has permeated her life.” Snyder, a member of the college’s religious studies faculty for more than 23 years, will also direct the newly formed Center for Mercy and Catholic Studies. The center will focus on the five critical concerns of the Sisters of Mercy: the economically poor (especially women and children), immigrants, the environment, racism and nonviolence. The center will also focus attention on the rich Catholic intellectual tradition and collaborate with Erie’s Roman Catholic Diocese in a variety of educational efforts. On Oct. 7, 2010, the center will launch an annual lecture series when it presents Dr. Terrence Tilley, Avery Cardinal Dulles SJ Professor of Catholic Theology at Fordham University. Tilley, a former president of the Catholic Theological Society of America, will discuss “The Liberal Arts, the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, and the Search for Truth.” His talk, at 7:30 p.m. in Mercyhurst’s Walker Recital Hall, is free and open to the public.
