The area is characterized by metropoli- tan growth and economic transformation and is rich in academic, research, technological and recre- ational resources. WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE As a regional University, we are committed to the needs of our community through teaching, research and service. Our faculty teach courses tailored to the diverse needs of metropolitan stu- dents, combine research-based knowledge and practical application and experience, and are commit- ted to educate students to be effective citizens. While maintaining high academic standards, our research efforts are designed to provide interdisciplinary partnerships to resolve metropolitan prob- lems. We provide close working relationships with elementary and secondary schools in an effort to affect the entire education system and provide ongoing contributions to the cultural life and general quality of life in our region. At EMU, we engage our students in learning habits. Our programs build lifelong learning skills so graduates can adapt in our rapidly changing world. We provide a supportive environment from tutors and writing clinics to our challenging honors program. We also emphasize learning experiences and new avenues of teaching for our faculty. They are actively involved in research, publishing, involving students in research and incorporating their findings in the classroom. Our faculty, students and administrators also work closely with the community while acquiring invaluable lifetime learning experiences. Many of our faculty are successfully incorporating Academic Service–Learning in their classes.
