Together We Rise will bring to life the bold and ambitious goals laid out in Merrimack’s Agenda for the Future. With your help, we will raise $100 million to enable our institution to innovate, grow, serve and win for years to come.
Our institution has limitless potential to drive groundbreaking innovation. That’s why we aim to increase research investments, attract research-focused faculty members and students, and build state-of-the-art research facilities. LET'S INNOVATE
We will strategically invest in the student experience and expand our academic offerings—advancing real-world, hands-on learning, creating innovative ways to consume education and offering wraparound support services. LET'S GROW
Guided by our Catholic Augustinian values, we will open our college to more underrepresented students, invest in civic and community engagement initiatives, and expand service-learning and off-campus opportunities. LET'S SERVE
Together, we will strengthen the Warrior community, enhancing and expanding our athletics facilities, growing The Warrior Fund, and fielding top student-athletes and coaches from across the nation. LET'S WIN
“Together, we will claim our place among the nation’s top Catholic colleges, cement our reputation as a leading research institution and act boldly and collaboratively to make an indelible mark on our campus, our community and the world at large.”
— Christopher E. Hopey, Ph.D., President of Merrimack College
“At Merrimack, we have been blessed with a community of change agents who are willing to be more than bystanders. These individuals, families, corporations and foundations step up again and again as champions of our Catholic Augustinian mission.”
— Kevin ’89 and Karen Lucey P’24, Campaign Chairs

Service is a primary focus for Jacob Symmes ’25, who has embarked on many mission trips since he was young. Now preparing to lead his third SEND Trip, Jacob is reflecting on his time as a Warrior so far.
In addition to the SEND program, Jacob found a community within campus ministry and built connections with those around him. As a human development and services major, he was able to grow professionally through an internship with the New England Center for Children working with young adults with high-needs social or intellectual disabilities. Throughout it all, Jacob learned Merrimack was the perfect fit for him, which is why he plans on becoming a Double Warrior by enrolling in the school counseling master’s program.
