Last month, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine visited campus to tour our nursing and engineering labs, meet with students and professors, and even take a peek inside EMU’s cutting-edge cadaver lab.

It was Kaine’s first visit to EMU since 2007. He was here to celebrate $1.39 million in federal Community-Directed Spending to upgrade and expand laboratory equipment for STEM and nursing students.

The investment will strengthen undergraduate education, expand research opportunities and help prepare the next generation of STEM and health care professionals.

Congratulations to the newest graduates of the Intensive English Program at EMU! 🎓

On Wednesday, we celebrated 15 students who completed the program during the spring and summer semesters. Throughout their time at EMU, they strengthened their English skills, built confidence, and prepared for the next chapter of their journeys.

As Provost Dr. Tynisha Willingham reminded graduates, "This is not the end. This is the start of something new, something great, and something beautiful."
