Praise from University Administrators

• Provost Ron Daniels (3/2/07) – “It takes considerable fortitude and zeal to start a community organization from scratch, but Penn MERT has more than met this challenge. You and your team have my abiding admiration and respect.“
• President Amy Gutmann (2/28/07) – “The establishment of MERT at Penn, along with your team’s service to the community, ranks as one of the more impressive and inspiring student initiatives. Now, your peers around the nation have learned what we already know: When it comes to serving humanity beginning at our doorstep, you’re the champs! Congratulations, again. You have done yourselves and Penn proud.“
• Dr. Valarie Swain-Cade McCoullum – (2/28/09) – “We all want to thank YOU, the absolutely FABULOUS members of Penn MERT, for your simply extraordinary support as partners in our community response! We are deeply indebted to you all for your continuing, strong, stewardship of the quality of life, quite literally, for Penn undergraduate, graduate, and professional students! Well done, well done, and well done!“

MERT owes all its success to its generous sponsors at the Vice Provost for University Life, the Department of Public Safety, and the Fox Leadership Program. Without them, we as an organization would not exist. Thank You.
