Provide new pathways so any student can become a unifying leader in their chosen field.
Quick pivots and resilience helped us maintain our academic integrity as well as our financial security in the midst of COVID-19.
Your generosity enables new students to join the EMU tradition of service and leadership that the world so desperately needs.
Crises can force us to dig deep into our reserves and ask: What special gifts do I carry for this moment? Do I have the resolve to risk what it may take to effect positive change? EMU is equipped to be light amidst the darkness, to find strength and refuge in a loving God, and to be a welcoming place for intellectual and spiritual formation.
Our strategic plan and this case for support provide a pathway that can make a difference for so many more students to access EMU’s transformational educational experience. Will you join me in making a radical difference in educating more diverse peacemakers? We welcome your faith-informed commitment to ensure EMU students learn to lead together in the spirit of the prophet Micah: “to do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God.
Together, we will move forward to create the next generation of unifying leaders.
In the midst of the twin viruses of a global pandemic and racial injustice, EMU seeks to move forward to provide the unifying leaders the world needs.
