TD Felder is another one of our dedicated #WorkerB

TD Felder is another one of our dedicated #WorkerBears. Our Fresh Food Company lead cook has worked for the University for six-and-a-half years.
.
WHAT HE DOES: Felder prepares delicious foods for hungry Bears on the Macon campus. As lead cook, he rotates through the food stations at Fresh Food Company in the Connell Student Center to make sure everything is running smoothly and often runs the grill. He also works concessions for Mercer sporting events, one of his favorite parts of the job.
.
WHAT HE LOVES MOST ABOUT HIS WORK: While his job can be hectic, Felder said he enjoys "the different people I get to meet all the time. I have fun just being able to talk to the young guys."

A Mercer alumnus is behind a growing craft beer business. Dr. Tripp Morgan, a 2001 @mercersom graduate and a vascular surgeon in Albany, opened @pretoriafieldscollective in 2017.
.
Dr. Morgan and his father, Harris, own farms in Camilla, Pretoria and western Lee County and grow the wheat, rye, fruits and other crops used to make the beer. The beer is made at a brewery in downtown Albany, which also has a tasting room with 10 to 12 beers on tap. Pretoria Fields Collective distributes its products throughout Georgia and has a core lineup of five beers, with additional rotating seasonal and limited release selections throughout the year.
.
The business has also been making hand sanitizer to help address the supply shortage amid COVID-19. In May, the company had sold or donated more than 40,000 gallons of hand sanitizer.
.
#MercerMade is a series in which we feature notable people, businesses, products and inventions connected to Mercer University.

Thanks for doing your part, Bears! #BearsCare

If you've attended an event on Mercer's Macon camp

If you've attended an event on Mercer's Macon campus, chances are Michelle Beavers coordinated and scheduled its setup. Beavers serves as the Campus Services Coordinator and has worked at Mercer for 16 years. #WorkerBears
.
WHAT SHE DOES: “I coordinate and schedule all event setups on campus, from the ‘Bear Beginnings’ MU class photo to graduation and everything in between. We strive to make Mercer events fun and memorable for our students, faculty, staff, alumni and guests.”
.
WHAT SHE LOVES MOST ABOUT HER WORK: "What I love the most about my work at Mercer is that we are truly a family. I work with a great team; I could not do it alone. I work hard but have fun. My job is far from boring. Be the spirit. Be the difference. Be the Bear!”
