Back to the place where Mercer began ... Penfield, Back to the place where Mercer began ... Penfield, Georgia. The chapel for the original Mercer campus was built in 1845 at a cost of $6,794 and used for student assemblies as well as for religious services for students, faculty and staff and area residents. A large memorial tablet to Jesse Mercer was placed in the sanctuary in 1848 and remains there today. Back in the day, pot-bellied stoves warmed the chapel during the winter, and a church bell called everyone to worship. Penfield Baptist Church has used the building since Mercer relocated to Macon in 1871, and the University restored the chapel during President Kirby Godsey's tenure. Special thanks to Dr. Barry Jenkins, former dean of students and vice provost for institutional effectiveness, for sharing his knowledge for our Penfield social media series. Mercer students can participate in a virtual Pilgrimage to Penfield at Five Star Stadium in Macon on Saturday. Find out more in our article at den.mercer.edu. Attendees must register by Thursday.

Jeanne Short, auxiliary services administration cl Jeanne Short, auxiliary services administration clerk on the Macon campus, says she "bleeds orange and black." She has worked at Mercer for five and a half years and is our next featured #WorkerBear. WHAT SHE DOES: Short handles Bear Card management and assignment, helps students with mobile Bear Card access, and assists students with their meal plan. She regularly works with both students and parents. WHAT SHE LOVES MOST ABOUT HER WORK: Short said she has been around Mercer all her life and “bleeds orange and black.” Her mother, Barbara, has worked for Mercer for 48 years in the administration and finance office, and Short graduated from Mercer with a bachelor’s degree in art last fall. She loves offering encouraging words to Mercer students and watching them grow and progress. “I just love getting to know the students, helping them out, making terrible jokes to get them to laugh and relax a little bit, and then directing them the best I can,” she said. “I like to say, ‘If I can do it, you can do it. You’re going to be fine. You’re going to rock it.’ Seeing them come in as a little nervous freshman and then leave as an accomplished senior is amazing to me. I love that. It’s just awesome.”
