As commuter who currently has 3 jobs at Mis I hear some stuff. Most of it everyone there knows or hears about, but nonetheless fun and newsworthy! There has been talk everywhere about all things new at Mis and everyone is bursting with excitement, especially me. Misericordia University is always changing and improving, even when we think it can't possible get any better. So many things are happening that we can't keep track! So here's a list to help you out.

1. Chick-Fil-A

The most talked about news is true! Good bye Cougars Den and hello chopping block! Coming to a Misericordia near you!

2. Chopping Block

And right along side Chick-Fil-A will be our new salad bar! (Can anyone say Red Leaf wanna be?) Nevertheless, we are excited for more healthy options on campus.

3. Starbucks

Our beloved! Starbucks will indeed be located in our Banks Students Life Center lounge!

4. The Patio

Tables and Chairs and Umbrellas, oh my! We are already in construction of the new patio that is going to be directly in front of our old den and will seat 50+ people.

5. A Door in the back of the Campus Store

Thanks the heavens (and Misericordia) for this one! We've been wanting this forever! Now, instead of walking all the way around after a baseball or football game, you can enter through our convenient new back door that faces the fields.

6. The Campus Store’s whole new renovation

With a new ownership comes a new face! Follett took over for a week and now your campus store looks completely different. So beyond excited! Come by and check us out!

7. Micro-fridges and Microwaves

It's true! Starting this year we are providing some of the dormers with micro fridges and microwaves that come with the room. As a start, it is for freshmen and (I think) Guildea Hall residence. So that means, Freshmen: do not bring your own fridge and microwave because you will not be allowed to use your own. This is awesome news because now you won't have to worry about how to defrost a fridge and Alumnae Hall won't have so many fire drills because of burnt popcorn!

8. The Den's pizza now being served in the Cafe

Pro: You can have our amazing pizza in the cafeteria now. Con: I don't think you can buy just a slice if you're not eating in the cafeteria for lunch. Sad face.

9. Anderson Health Center’s new front

Not really sure what is going on there, but it has been under construction all summer! Very excited to use the front door again.

10. The New Bleachers in Anderson.

They're blue and (hopefully) sturdier than the last ones!

11. The new science building.

Supposed to be done by 2018/2019 as of now!

12. The new freshmen

Yay! New freshmen!! It's good for the old freshmen because you are no longer the youngest. It's good for the new freshmen because you start college! And it's good for everyone else at Mis because we are a friendly community who love new people!

Hope this helps! See you soon!
