Visit this page (www.misericordia.edu/classof2020) and our social media channels. Also, on May 9 and 10 please share your pictures, videos, and memories online via social media using the hashtag #MUGrads #MUFromHome #CougarStrong.

Picture Yourself On Campus

While we may not be able to be back on our beautiful campus, we hope you can still “picture yourself” back at the Arch, Anderson Center, or outside Mercy Hall! On this page, you’ll find a selection of campus images that you can include as the background for your campus photos. To make this as easy of an option as possible, we’ve created some helpful tips to put you “back on campus”!

• Click here to download a .zip folder of various campus photos, or use your own!

  • We’ve included various campus symbols and locations including the cougar statue, Anderson Center, the Arch, Mercy Hall, and more for you to choose from. Or if you have a personal favorite such as your dorm, your team’s locker room, a lab, or a studio- you can use those too! We encourage you to make this experience your own!
• Use our recommended photo editing tool (or your own favorite app) to place your graduation photos, or other photos of your friends onto our campus.
  • New to editing photos? After testing various tools, we’ve found the LightX photo editing mobile app to be user friendly, and allows both android and iPhone users to use their favorite photos and backgrounds to make their own creations. Available for download on most devices, the base app is free and offers tutorials, walk-throughs, and answers to frequently asked questions to help guide you through making your campus graduation photos. Check out the examples included, and learn more about the app here: https://lightxapp.com/
