Welcome to the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management! As the chief officer of this division, I have the responsibility to create and sustain a dynamic learning community by providing leadership, programs, services and initiatives that support students in the pursuit of their educational goals. Our programs and services serve a wide variety of students who choose EMU for any number of reasons:  degree seeking, career change opportunity, self-improvement, re-tooling of skills and more. To that end we manage our operations in such a way as to ensure that they are meeting the requirements of a diverse student population.

Our co-curricular and student life programs and activities are designed to help you connect and engage with others, enriching your academic experience. Our programs and services are intended to help you:

• transition to college
• pay for college
• choose a major and career
• stay healthy and fit
• get involved in campus life
• explore job (career) opportunities
• address individualized needs and interests

The Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management provides a wide variety of support so that students can be successful in their academic pursuits from the time they first consider attending EMU to the moment they complete their educational goals.

I encourage you to learn about all that EMU has to offer and I wish you much success in your educational journey.

Cordially,
