A look back – PDR
On November 6th, we hosted our annual Professional Development Retreat on campus, welcoming nearly 70 students for a full day of career-focused learning. Attendees explored strategies for achieving professional success and distinguishing themselves in today’s job market.
The retreat featured a series of engaging panels and breakout sessions led by multiple alumni speakers, and concluded with a networking reception. If your organization is interested in participating in future programs like PDR, please reach out to the employer relations team.
Merrimack Athletics
Since Merrimack College transitioned to Division I athletics in 2018, we have continued to welcome and encourage our external partners to attend games and support our student-athletes. We offer a wide array of group ticket options for Football, Men’s and Women’s Basketball, and Men’s and Women’s Ice Hockey.
There is limited availability for a suite experience for Men’s Ice Hockey, but plenty of suites remain for Women’s Ice Hockey as well as Men’s and Women’s Basketball. Suites can accommodate up to 30 people.
