Whether you’re looking to make a soft shift or a hard left, don’t miss the first event in the Emerge Series: an hour of insights, "aha!" moments, and engaging conversation about what it takes to pivot successfully in 2021—and turn last year’s disaster into next year’s opportunity.

Supporting Emerson Students
Jaden '22 is a film production major and aspiring filmmaker. He is no stranger to the entertainment industry with both of his parents working professionally on Broadway. However, since the beginning of the pandemic his parents have been out of work. Without scholarship aid, Jaden would not be able to continue his Emerson education.
In the midst of the global pandemic and economic crisis, our most urgent focus remains on helping our current students continue their education, and future students access one. To learn more about our priorities and the impact of giving at Emerson, visit: emerson.edu/support-emerson
