We want to know what you think. All of you.
We mean every Emersonian—whether you sat on the wall in 1968, helped launch the EVVYs in 1981, hung with the ghosts of Charlesgate in the 1990s or graduated during a pandemic in 2020. That’s why we’re conducting the largest alumni survey in Emerson history. Our goal is simple, and our aspirations are big. We want to use what we learn to deliver the kinds of services, events, connection points, stories, and news that matter most to you, our dynamic alumni community of storytellers, creators, and communicators. The survey is open to all alumni, and replies are anonymous. Watch your inbox this May for your invitation to participate. It will come from SimpsonScarborough, our survey partner. Thanks in advance for your help!

Emerge LGBTQIA+ Pride Group
Pride takes on a lot of meanings at Emerson. For many of us, Emerson is where we were able to find our voices and truly become our authentic selves. As a pack of lions (joke aside) we uplift, listen, and celebrate one another for all that makes us, us.
Wherever you land on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, this new group in Emerge serves as space for Emersonians to connect, share points of interest, have conversations about our LGBTQIA+ experiences, and support one another, personally and professionally.
Our Pride Stands Together as OneEmerson. Welcome to the LGBTQIA+ Pride group. Join here.

Supporting Emerson Students

For Sienna '23, college was far from a reality when she was growing up. However, through all her hardships she persevered, always with a smile on her face. She'll never forget the day she received her acceptance letter into Emerson, but more importantly, she'll never forget the day she was offered the scholarships that made it possible for her to attend. That day changed her life.
