to 1993, when two forward-thinking and philanthropic EMU alums saw a student need at their alma mater and decided to address that need with creativity and generosity. They chose to invest in the lives of 5-7 new undergrads every year, and eventually 30-40 new undergrads every year, by establishing the university's very first Honors Endowed Scholarship (with a seven-figure gift) to launch the Honors Program! In 2026, professor of history Dr. Mark Sawin leads our distinctive Honors Program. Encourage high-achieving high school students in your networks to learn more! Honors alumni, we invite you to contribute what you are able to the Honors Endowed Scholarship, to collectively increase its year-by-year impact in students' lives!
