Transfer Honor Society at EMU
As a transfer student, one may face challenges in finding a place on campus in which to feel a true sense of belonging. By bringing a chapter of this Honor Society to EMU’s campus, we hope to provide academically-excelling transfer students with a place to feel at home, within a community of students with similar values and relatable circumstances. EMU aims to help guide these students through the transition period that transfer students are subject to and the difficulties that result. Eastern Michigan University (EMU) is pleased to announce the coming of its newest Honor Society chapter designed specifically for transfer students! Tau Sigma is a nationally-recognized Honor Society that was founded at Auburn University twenty years ago. Today, it is present across the nation, in chapters at over 175 institutions. The organization’s mission is to “recognize and promote the academic excellence and involvement of transfer students.”
