Liam Hoare
Taking advantage of every opportunity
By Ashley Sarris ’12, Editor in Chief, The Beacon
Liam Hoare, a member of the class of 2012, takes advantage of every program and opportunity at Merrimack. A finance major, he is a member of the Girard Mentoring Program for students majoring in business, and has participated in Merrimack’s Cooperative Education program, working at MFS Investment Management. Liam’s passion for business started with his father, and his hands-on experiences have only further developed his interest in the field. Hoare can often be found working out and training with the varsity tennis team. As a captain and leader of the team, he takes his athletic endeavors seriously, and, in fact, won a round in the NCAA tournament during his sophomore year. Hoare is more than just a student-athlete. He also finds time to be a student ambassador and he is a member of SAAC. He attributes his success as a balanced Merrimack student to time management and just getting things done before they build up too much stress. After Merrimack, Liam has plans to pursue a career in the field of investment analyst trading and investment banking. Leaving Merrimack will be bittersweet for him, as it is exciting to see all the changes around campus start to happen. Merrimack and its future growth and development will be just one more thing to be proud of in the future. As he said, “Merrimack turned out to be the best choice for me.” www.merrimack.edu 17
