Eastern Michigan University is a great place to work and to teach. And EMU employees are the best people to tell you why.

On this site are testimonials from EMU staff and faculty members who have been featured in Focus EMU. In their own words, they tell you why they work or teach at EMU. You'll find some inspiration here. And you'll find real people making real contributions, every day, to the great community we call Eastern Michigan University. We'll keep adding to this site every week (monthly during summer), so keep coming back.

Enjoy the trip!
