Road Trip: Rochester
Throughout this road trip, we’ve been impressed by the turnouts we’ve seen. Last night’s event in Rochester (Pitsford to be exact), was by far among the best. We’ve had some great events in Rochester over the years, but this was at a different level. The conversations had by Mercyhurst alumni spanned generations, geographic regions, and [...]
