Bonnie Cherico Chosen

Bonnie Cherico, the college's
new registrar, is not unfamiliar
with Mercyhurst. u *
She graduated in 1975 with a
B.A. in French and began work
as secretary to the registrar in
August of that same year.
Bonnie says the responsibilities
of the registrar are more than
whatithe average student per-
ceives; although the registrar
does indeed issue class cards, the
job duties go much further.
