This allows them to receive life income and give a future gift to EMU. To honor their careers as professors, they designated their future gift to be used for nursing and literature scholarships. When asked why they chose to make a gift to EMU, they proclaimed:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why wouldn\u2019t we want to do something for EMU?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEMU has been so good to us. We had our careers at EMU and were able to serve the church broadly. We led nine international cross-cultural trips, had 11 nieces and nephews graduate from EMU, and both of our sons attended the university. Even in retirement, EMU still feels like family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you have already included EMU in your estate plan, please let us know!
