EXCELLENT EDUCATORS: Seven EMU faculty will be honored with Teaching Excellence Awards from the EMU Alumni Association Oct. 25 at the Student Center.

"The Teaching Excellence Awards are a wonderful way for the Alumni Association to salute some of EMU's outstanding professors. One of EMU's strengths has always been its faculty, and these awards highlight their dedication to providing an outstanding education to our students," said Vicki Reaume, EMU's executive director of Alumni Relations.

Friends and guests are welcome to attend. Advanced tickets are required. Tickets can be purchased through the Office for Alumni Relations at 487-0250 or alumni.relations@emich.edu for $15 per person or $8 per student.

This year, the EMU Alumni Association and the Office for Alumni Relations have partnered with MEEMIC Insurance Company and the Krumm Agency, LLC, to honor faculty who have distinguished themselves in the classroom.

MEEMIC Insurance Company started in 1949 by seven Michigan teachers. Its goal was to provide invaluable service to their fellow educators by offering high quality, affordable auto insurance protection.

"As MEEMIC agents, we are thrilled to partner with our alma mater on such a prestigious award," said Bethann and Ernie Krumm, owners of The Krumm Agency, LLC, the insurance representatives for EMU faculty and staff.
