On Tuesday, October 25, 2022, NBC10 television anchor Tracy Davidson spoke to the entire Merion Mercy Academy student body as part of the school's Career Day program. Davidson shared her career path and offered insights and advice for pursuing your passion. She also spoke of being called to deepen her faith, which led her to earn a master's degree in Spirituality. Asked about that decision, Davidson said, "I wanted to talk to people about God's love, because God's love is the only explanation for why I am here before you today." Recounting a difficult childhood, she added, "This is beyond my wildest dreams."

Davidson's keynote was followed by panel presentations from 16 Merion Mercy alumnae in the fields of:

  • Arts, Culture, & Entertainment and Communications/English, 

  • Business and Criminal Justice/Law

  • Education and Social Services

  • STEM

Commonly heard advice from the graduates included, "Say yes to every opportunity;" "Have faith you'll end up where you're meant to be;" and "Make the most out of whatever situation you find yourself in."
