Engage @ EMU

COVID-19 Update

All EMU employees who have not been otherwise informed or designated by their supervisors are expected to continue working remotely. The most important thing any of us can do at this time is to follow recommendations to prevent the spread of the virus. Please review this comprehensive list [PDF] of prevention measures compiled by the Washtenaw County Health Department. For all EMU updates, visit the website.
