Mitchell Marsh

Mitchell Marsh

Mitchell Marsh is a 22 year-old native from nearby Bemus Point, New York. He is currently a senior at Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania where he is studying both Hospitality Management and Marketing.

Mitchell was drawn to Mercyhurst as a result of their high-ranking in the field. The University’s Hospitality Management Program is ranked #2 in the nation. His pre-enrollment visits, meeting with the professors and students were very positive. He didn’t originally plan on pursuing a dual major. When he enrolled at Mercyhurst it was initially in the Hospitality Management Program but after being in the program for a few semesters, he discovered that he had a passion for marketing so he added this second major to his studies.

Mitchell loves being at Mercyhurst University. He describes his experience in this way, “After being here for almost four years, I have been able to be involved in so much in such a short period of time, and it truly has made it a great experience. Seizing the day at Mercyhurst is one of my favorite things to do and I am able to do it because of the welcoming community.” I couldn’t have said it better.

Interestingly, Mitchell is a triplet. He finds this beneficial in terms of comparing other institutions to Mercyhurst through his conversations with his siblings. His time here at Mercyhurst has been very fulfilling for Mitchell and although he didn’t mention any concrete future plans, he feels that his experience at Mercyhurst has prepared him well.
