Hey friends I’m currently a senior majoring in Athletic Training, this would be my first year as a Campus Life Coach! Coming into Eastern I was only a part of the Brotherhood and Sisterhood Scholars Program and now I’m a part of so many other amazing organizations. My goal as a coach is to see what interests you might have or what could be a good fit for you, as it would lead you to a new path as a college student. A fun fact about me, I’m a marvel fan!

Hi, this will be my first year as a Campus Life Coach! My goal is to help other students get connected with campus and what we have to offer. Whether that be through clubs, student orgs, or events; I want to be there to help them find their fit! As this will be my last year at Eastern, I will be finishing out my Bachelor’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages which has opened my eyes to the struggles individuals may face due to language barriers. I want students to feel that they have a voice, their feelings are validated and that their interests matter! I’m excited to encourage students to discover what they are interested in, make new friends, and new connections! I hope to grow alongside the students I help, and even discover new hobbies as well! A fun fact about me, I collect Smiskis! I look forward to meeting everyone!

Hello! I am a sophomore majoring in Fashion Marketing with a minor in SAG. I am SO excited to be here assisting you this year! I became a Campus Life Coach because a year ago, I was a freshman from out of state who knew nobody and didn’t think I could get involved due to being an early college graduate who wasn’t taking the same general education classes as my peers, leaving me with little opportunities to meet others. Now, I’m a sophomore who holds leadership positions in multiple organizations that I LOVE and have connections and relationships I never imagined I’d have– which has also helped me get to where I am today. I know what it feels like not to know where you belong, not know where to go for help, or even what resources are available to you– but I also know that the somewhere and/or something you’re looking for is waiting for you, and I hope that I can give you that push in the right direction! Getting involved on campus was the best decision I’ve made during my time here at Eastern, and my goal is to help everyone I meet find their fit and discover where they belong through their passions, interests, and goals. Fun fact about me, I have been obsessed with Pokemon since I was a kid!
Student Organizations
If you'd like support finding the right student organization for you, check out EMU's Recognized Student Organizations on EagleSync, or reach out to us at [email protected] for an individual consultation.
Fraternities & Sororities
For some students the experience in fraternity or sorority life is where they find community at EMU. You can learn more on our Fraternity & Sorority Life page or, if you have questions about getting involved in FSL you can emails us at [email protected].
Student Activities
If you're looking for a low-commitment option or just want to get out and meet people, attending campus events and activities are a great way to do just that. Check out the University Calendar, the "What's Happening" tile in the EMU Engage App, and follow Campus Life and other campus departments on social media to stay informed about upcoming campus events. In the call check out Family Weekend and Homecoming events!
Orientation
One way to find your fit is by attending EMU Connect and getting to know campus and other new students over the course of the weekend. After your first year you also have the option of volunteering to be a Connect Group Leader which will not only provide you leadership training and experience but also an opportunity to build your campus network and support new students as they begin building theirs. If you are interested in learning more about opportunities to volunteer or work in the Orientation office, emails us at [email protected] today!
Student Employment
On campus jobs are a fantastic way to deepen your connection to campus, make some money, and work in a flexible environment with supervisors that support your development and education. Campus Life hires student assistants for our Engagement & Activities team, Orgs Support Team, Fraternity & Sorority Life team, Orientation & Transition Programs Team, and Marketing & Design team. You can also find great opportunities for campus employment in many other EMU departments. Not sure where to start?
