In-person vs. online learning: What’s best for you?
If you have decided to further your education, you have likely inquired whether in-person or online courses are a better option for you, especially if you are already working and/or have family obligations. What suits one person may not suit another. The methodology of teaching and learning that works better for you is a personal decision that considers your schedule, life commitments, learning style, and preferences.
“Shining Lamps, Giving Light to All Around Us”
In her blog, Dr. Tara Flanagan writes, “On December 12, we join with our worldwide Mercy family in celebrating Foundation Day, honoring the day in 1831, when the order of the Sisters of Mercy was established.

The truth about fast fashion
Maria College Assistant Director of Admissions Rebecca Thomas writes, “During the Season of Creation, we are meant to reflect on how we treat the earth and the ways we can improve to benefit ourselves, animals, and future generations. One way I try to be conscious of my carbon footprint is through my clothing consumption. In the era of social media, it’s easy to get caught up in the ever-changing microtrends we’re seeing on TikTok and Instagram, but the clothes bought from fast fashion giants will still be negatively impacting the world long after they’re forgotten by us.”
For Everything a Season
In her blog, Maria College Chief Mission Officer Dr. Tara Flanagan discusses how encouraging words can act as seeds of change. We see this often at Maria College where students have decided to come for an education, and that decision was started by a few statements from friends, family or colleagues. She also encourages us to notice those whose calls are going unheard or are willfully ignored and say something.
