29th Undergraduate Symposium 29th Undergraduate Symposium

Advancing the Symposium

A number of giving opportunities directly linked to the Undergraduate Symposium are available. Designed to enhance the student academic experience at EMU and to encourage further success in the classroom, these initiatives include undergraduate fellow appointments, endowed undergraduate-level scholarships and graduate-level fellowship awards. Gifts also support the unique operational needs of the annual Symposium event.

To this end, you may invest in EMU students and this valued tradition of Eastern Michigan University. All donations are tax-deductible and will be acknowledged in our event program.
