Welcome back, students!

Once again, EMU is enlivened with the chatter of voices in the hallways, activity on the Quad, meals on Thomas Plaza, cyclists flying by on campus paths and the disc golf baskets clanging up on the hill. EMU welcomed approximately 485 new and returning residential students back to campus. Read highlights from move-in weekend. See more pictures from the weekend.

Common Read 

Each year, EMU's annual Common Read establishes common ground for discussion in classrooms and other venues. Read more about this year's selection, the New York Times bestseller Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson.  

'Here Together' Week

Before students arrive, EMU employees gather for an annual "faculty/staff conference." This year, the week kicked off with a a neighborhood trash pick-up and ended with free homemade ice cream and a concert downtown. In between, 12 other events brought  employees into the Harrisonburg community to share talents, time and fellowship.

Spread the word

Do you know a current high school student who would benefit from the EMU experience? One of the best ways you can help them explore this option is to refer the student to EMU. Help us reach students who would thrive at EMU!
