Senior Class Gift -
Each year, the senior class chooses a fundraising project that represents their class and their collective experience at EMU. Your class has voted to make improvements to the game room for your class gift!
The goal is to celebrate and memorialize that experience by making a lasting gift to the campus community that serves a need that is meaningful to your unique class. Fundraising will begin at Grad Center in February (suggested donation $20.26) where you can pay via your student account, cash, Venmo, or card. You can also contribute to the Senior Class Gift at any time .
