"The glory of God is a human being fully alive.” —St. Irenaeus
Dear Emmanuel Students,
What does it mean to be fully alive?
It’s knowing that we are engaging our talents, interests, and potential to the utmost. It’s being open to new perspectives, forging meaningful connections with others, and becoming the best versions of ourselves.
My great hope for you, in the year ahead, is that you will experience this “fullness” in new and deeply rewarding ways. In fact, helping you thrive, in every respect, is the heart of Emmanuel’s mission. It’s our reason for being.
Possibilities abound. On campus you’ll find wide-ranging opportunities to cultivate understanding and creativity, leadership and friendship. And of course, our dynamic neighborhood and city offer unparalleled pathways to a career and life that meet, and even surpass, your highest aspirations.
All of us—faculty, advisors, coaches, and staff—are so grateful for the unique gifts and energy you bring to our community. We can’t wait to see all the ways you become ever more fully alive, this year and beyond.
Beth Ross, Ed.D.
President
