EMU Authors' Reception 2021
EMU's annual Authors' Reception celebrates the scholarly accomplishments of faculty and staff (and sometimes students) who have had work published in the past year or two. In lieu of the traditional tables with flowers, photos, and a display of published works, we offer this virtual display to recognize our authors in 2021.
