As we prepare to say farewell to the Connell Student Center, we'll be sharing favorite memories submitted by our alumni. Share yours at https://buildingforbears.mercer.edu/share-a-memory/. We begin with these words from graduates Cecilia Althen-Sumner, CLAS, and Carlee Schultz, ENG.
“We have shared lunch together in the caf almost every day for the past three years. We met each other in the caf, and our friendship grew from there. We’re sorority sisters, we’re Big-Little, and we are each other’s best friend. Together we would greet Miss Takisha, cross our fingers for our favorite caf foods (caf hot dog, baked spaghetti, oatmeal raisin cookies, Fried Chicken Wednesday, and International Eats), study, and people watch. … We’ve laughed and cried here. Mercer is ‘the place,’ but the caf was our place.”
