Mercy College is pleased to announce that Bruce J. Haber has been elected chairman of its Board of Trustees. Haber replaces Gary W.

"Bruce has made enormous contributions to Mercy College since he joined the board nine years ago. I am pleased to be succeeded as Board chair by such an experienced and dedicated individual," said Brown.

His experience and passion for Mercy students is evident in the work he has done here. I know his leadership will be a great asset to the Board and to Mercy College.”
