Dear President Martin, Welcome to EMU! I want to thank you for coming to Eastern and bringing your energy and enthusiasm to a great University. You will do a wonderful job. I started college at EMU back in 1976 and met my future wife there, and completed both of my Business degrees there. We have since had both of our kids graduate from Eastern, and I have taught courses for Fraya Wagner-Marsh up in Traverse City, as well as coordinate alumni events for Vicki Reaume in Alumni Relations. Please know we are cheering you on as you face the challenges before you. Best wishes, Bill Hendry 1983, 1989

Congratulations Dr. Martin. Thus far, in your short time at Eastern Michigan University, I have noticed change in the positive direction.

Congratulations Dr. Martin. The EMU family is excited about your selection as the 22nd president of our beloved university. I know you will continue the traditions of excellence that have made EMU a leading academic institution since 1849. Sherman Mumford EMU Alumnus

From: Carole Ryburg

Dr. Martin, Welcome to EMU! Thank you for helping redefine the office of the president. As a woman you are a great and important role model. I am proud that both universities I have attended in Michigan are now headed by women (Mary Sue Coleman at U of M) and our state is led by a woman of substance like yourself. I know you will be instrumental in regaining EMU's status at the state level. I also know that in these tough economic times you will help define Eastern Michigan as an innovative learning community that will suppport the kind of education that Michiganders will need for success in an economy that must grow in areas outside of manufacturing. I wish you all the best and am thrilled you are here.
