I am a new student to Mercy College and Dr. Stevens was my advisor. I wasn't able to get to know him very well, but I can tell you he was a very well liked, creative professor and a respected member of Mercy College staff. He will be remembered fondly by many, many people. I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Dr. Stevens, Mark,
Was a man of courage and strength. I admired his intellect and sense of humor. The college has not only suffered an enormous loss, but I will greatly miss his presence and guidance.
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. If there is any way I can be of assistance to you, please let me know.
