What can I do to mentor current EMU students?
A great way to assist current students is to participate in our Alumni Career Connection Program. This program links you with a student who has a similar career interest or major. Your experience in the "real world" can be extremely beneficial for students as they plan for their own futures. To learn more or to sign up, go to our Alumni Career Connection Program Web site.
[Top]
What can I do to assist EMU in recruiting students?
You can volunteer to participate in the Alumni Admissions Recruitment Team. Through this program, you will be trained to help recruit students for EMU. Some of the ways you can participate include helping at on-campus visit programs or writing letters to admitted students. By sharing your own EMU memories, perhaps you will be the reason a student chooses to attend your alma mater. To learn more or to sign up go to our Alumni Admissions Recruitment Team Web site.
