Welcome to the Summer Semester at Eastern Michigan University - May 14, 2025

Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,

As we embark on a new summer semester, I want to take a moment to welcome you and reaffirm our commitment to fostering an environment where learning, growth, and connection continue year-round. While summer may be a season of transition for many, Eastern Michigan University remains a vibrant hub of activity, innovation, and support.

Whether you are taking summer courses, engaging in research, teaching, or working across our campus, know that EMU is here to help you thrive. Our academic and student support services remain fully available, ensuring you have the resources needed to make the most of this term. From tutoring and advising to mental health and career guidance, we encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities.

Students are encouraged to visit our Student Success webpage for a comprehensive list of EMU resources that will help guide you to the appropriate campus office, whether it’s academic, financial, health and wellness, campus safety, internships and career coaching, or getting to know Ypsilanti. And, our registration office is ready to help you continue your education this fall. 

Summer is a wonderful time to reconnect with our campus in new ways. Explore ongoing initiatives, engage with your community, and enjoy the many opportunities EMU provides to enrich your experience. Be sure to check out the University Calendar and stay informed about upcoming events.

I look forward to seeing the dedication and creativity that define our EMU community continue to shine this semester. Thank you for making our university a place of excellence, support, and inspiration.

Wishing you a rewarding and successful summer!

James Smith, Ph.D.
