Mercer’s appearance on campus Monday afternoon outside McPherson Library drew several hundred students, who chanted in unison “You are watching the Mercer Report on CBC! UVic! Whoo” for a taped segment, according to a video tweet sent out by Ocean Networks.
Mercer also met with students and members of the Victoria Hand Project. The company uses 3-D printing to produce prosthetics for patients in developing countries.
Mercer later spent the afternoon with the Canadian Coast Guard.
