Meet the Together We Rise Campaign Leadership

Led by national campaign co-chairs Kevin ’89 and Karen Lucey P’24, the Together We Rise campaign leadership features trustees, alumni and parents whose commitment to Merrimack College spans decades.

The Together We Rise campaign, the most ambitious campaign to date at Merrimack College, is led by a dedicated group of trustees, alumni and parents whose commitment to the College spans decades, and whose ongoing generosity has supported the key priorities of the campaign.

Merrimack College Board of Trustees Chairman Kevin Lucey 89 and his wife Karen P24 will serve as national campaign co-chairs. Marybeth McInnis H’17, trustee vice chair, and her husband Stephen Boucher, as well as trustee Paul Mucci and his wife Joyce Mucci P’07, will serve as campaign vice chairs. 

“Karen and I are truly honored to serve as national co-chairs of Together We Rise,” said Kevin Lucey. “We have an exceptional campaign leadership group. We look forward to shepherding support for the continued growth of research, student experience, mission and athletics, all of which are critical to Merrimack’s ongoing success.”     

Together We Rise aims to raise $100 million over the next five years in four priority areas: research, student experience, Augustinian mission and athletics. Each priority area has designated co-chairs:

Together We Innovate: Foster College-wide innovation and research

  • Co-chairs: Dr. Laurence ’60 and Susan Demers ’62
