This is your place to sharpen your mind. Come mine the rich resources of the city around you, visit the Rembrandts that hang down the street from your residence hall, listen to a world leader speak at a free lecture.
To free your spirit. Come to a place where the city is part of your everyday energy. Jog along the sparkling waters of the Charles River, rest beneath the blossoming magnolias.
4
To expand your horizons. Take in a city full of culture and cultures. Try a steaming bowl of noodles in Chinatown. An icy gelato in the North End. A free jazz concert on the waterfront.
To unleash your potential. Transform yourself through powerful real-world experiences: fascinating internships, life-changing community service and amazing opportunities abroad. 5
Emmanuel College is a coed, residential, Catholic liberal arts and sciences college surrounded by the excitement, resources and culture of Boston. There is simply no other place like it.
6
College just isn’t the same everywhere. You won’t find the sophisticated city of Boston, with its 250,000 other college students, everywhere. You won’t find a 17-acre campus surrounded by a world-class medical center and two major art museums everywhere. You won’t find Fenway Park just down the street everywhere.
The city. The college. The community. It all comes together with academic purpose toward a greater goal at Emmanuel: an education of the heart, the mind and the soul. 7
Roll out of bed in the morning and the vibrant world-class city of Boston sprawls before you, teeming with opportunity, adventure, excitement and ideas. What will you do today? Walk by Paul Revere’s tiny wooden house or do research in the state-of-the-art transplant labs of Massachusetts General Hospital? Will you intern in I.M. Pei’s glass-sheathed Hancock Tower or the gold-leafed dome of the State House? Boston is your extended campus. A new world of ideas is your universe. This is your place. Welcome to it.
“ Education empowers people. It transforms their lives. It opens doors.� Emmanuel College has long been part of the mission of my life—first as a student, then as a faculty member, as an administrator and as President. I am proud to introduce you to Emmanuel College, a community with a lifelong passion for teaching and learning, that believes education will help create a just and better world. If you believe, as we do, that education empowers, transforms and opens doors; if you challenge yourself, as we do, to act, to lead and to give generously to others; if you insist, as we do, that the world of ideas demands diversity, then this is your place. We are a community with a strong sense of mission, a vigorous intellect, a vibrant faith and a joyful spirit. Welcome. Sister Janet Eisner, 10
snd, President
The Greatest Work on Earth In 1919 the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, an international Catholic religious congregation, founded Emmanuel College, the first Catholic college for women in New England. With their mission of “making known God’s goodness...educating for life,� they laid the foundation for generations of bright, motivated students to apply the principles established by founder St. Julie Billiart. Today, the men and women that comprise the Emmanuel community continue to carry out the mission of the Sisters of Notre Dame through education, social justice and a longstanding tradition of service to the Boston community, nationally and globally.

T H I S I S YOU R P L ACE TO
Sharpen Your Mind The world of liberal arts and sciences is about being changed by ideas and being driven by ideas. At Emmanuel College, we believe in the value of a liberal arts and sciences education, our proud tradition since 1919. We believe the world becomes more colorful if you are really curious and want to know why things are the way they are. We offer opportunities in the pursuit of learning and teaching, of exploring and research in over 25 areas of study. We take these studies to new levels, from Art, Education, English and History to the Natural and Life Sciences, Political Science, Psychology and Global Studies. We question, we challenge, we transform. We encourage, as well, the Individualized Major, the tailoring of a new major within the context of our offerings. We believe in our students. We offer an extensive and award-winning academic advising program to help you map out and continuously revise and update your own educational plan. We also offer a rigorous Honors Program that engages students in further academic exploration and research. We continue to design programs that will help you reach new heights, explore new fields and work at higher levels than you might ever have thought possible.

First-Year Seminars
Our Honors Program
This innovative program is designed to build a strong academic foundation for the rest of your college career. Every first-year student takes a seminar of his or her choice in the fall or spring semester. In small classes, working closely with each other and a member of the faculty, you are introduced to the academic traditions of the liberal arts and sciences: how to read mindfully, analyze information, construct arguments and communicate effectively. Here you will be introduced to the expectations and values of our academic community.
Each year, students who demonstrate superior academic ability and promise are invited to participate in this four-year academic and co-curricular program that combines a rigorous, discussion-based curriculum with complementary opportunities such as cultural activities, faculty-directed research projects, and service in the community. The program begins with the yearlong Honors Colloquium for first-year students and includes: four interdisciplinary, writing intensive seminars; a service-learning component; and an independent research project. The Carolyn A. Lynch Institute

Research opportunities
at Emmanuel are fasten-your-seatbelt explorations into a universe of “Why?” and “What If?” with the potential to make a powerful impact in peoples’ lives. At Emmanuel College, meaningful work is being done in many disciplines across the board. Internship programs and faculty/student projects in the health care and medical fields provide Emmanuel College undergraduates the kind of access and resources usually reserved for graduate programs at large research universities.

Merck Research Laboratories-Boston Emmanuel is the only college in the country with a private research facility located right on its campus. Since Merck Research Laboratories-Boston opened its doors in October 2004, this unique partnership has provided our students with the type of access and opportunities few undergraduates get to experience. Each summer, Merck selects students to take part in a special paid internship program, at least one of which is always an Emmanuel student. Through the Merck Scholars Program, Emmanuel students are awarded scholarships based on outstanding academic performance in the sciences. In addition to Merck researchers and scientists speaking in our monthly seminar series, the pharmaceutical company supports our faculty-student research initiatives, provides student stipends for summer research projects, and gives the College access to cutting-edge research equipment.
Samuel LoCascio (Vienna, Austria) and Ynes Helou (Foxborough, MA) Class of 2009, were selected as Merck summer interns for 2008. “ I have always aspired to work with great minds and partake in influential research. My time as a Merck intern certainly provided me that chance. After I graduate from Emmanuel, I intend to focus my studies in pharmacology, so the internship held great relevance to my future academic career. Getting the opportunity to work in a pharmaceutical company that has contributed so much to human health is priceless.” Ynes
“ It was exciting to be able to apply all that I am learning as an Emmanuel College student to a job where my work could make a big difference. The experience I gained during my internship with Merck was extremely valuable, but it was because of my education at Emmanuel that I was given the opportunity in the first place. There are very few colleges that provide the kind of opportunities and support that we receive as students here.” Sam 25
Our distinguished faculty
publishes, exhibits and researches. Presents, composes and chairs. Inspires, stimulates and collaborates. At Emmanuel, classes are small enough for your professors to know who you are and what’s important to you. They expect you to challenge them, to think, to question, to explore. Their mission is to make knowledge matter. Whether they teach English or Management, Biostatistics or Education, they believe in the promise of a liberal arts and sciences education to transform students into confident, curious citizens of the world of ideas. Here are a handful of professors you might run into on a stroll across the quad:
Meet Michael St. Clair, Professor of Psychology “Take some risks in your college career,” urges Dr. St. Clair, “no matter how serious you are about science, while you’re here, take a course in something you’re not going to be able to do again.” For more than 30 years, Dr. St. Clair has urged Emmanuel students to pursue both a disciplined analysis in science and an open curiosity in the world at large. He believes a strong liberal arts education is fundamentally about thinking. He pushes students to challenge assumptions, to question. “ Why do people act a certain way? Why is a building built that way? How did it happen that this president was elected rather than
26
that one? Did Freud destroy more things in the 20th century than he created?” he challenges, “This is more than data to be mastered and filed away.” “ Psychology is a pretty broad discipline,” says Dr. St. Clair, “At its most basic, it offers good habits of research, critical thinking, exposure to quantitative methods and skills for jobs.” At the same time he celebrates the distinctive opportunities Emmanuel has to offer, “Our psychology classes are quite different from each other. We have moved quite rapidly into many demanding sub-disciplines of psychology, including the neurosciences.”
Meet Megumi Naitoh, Associate Professor of Art
Artist, Professor, Advisor. Megumi Naitoh is all three to the students of Emmanuel College. After growing up in Tokyo, surrounded by 12.5 million other people, Dr. Naitoh takes the art of individual expression quite seriously. But she teaches it with a sense of humor and tremendous passion. As you might expect from an artist whose work combines manipulated pixilated images and clay, she teaches students to articulate why they like what they make. “Without knowing why it is successful, it is not successful,” she says. With the recently renovated Art Department, Dr. Naitoh has an entirely new art space in which to guide students towards the creation of their next masterpiece. Located on the fifth floor of the Administration Building, the area includes new studios for painting,
drawing, 3D graphics and ceramics; a wood shop; a dark room; a Mac computer lab; and other gallery and interactive spaces to help her pique students’ creativity. Boston enriches the entire experience as well. One day, she’s taking students through the Museum of Fine Arts, experiencing art most people see only in books, the next she’s guiding them to a gallery opening in Boston’s Harrison Avenue art district.

Meet Javier Marion, Assistant Professor of History
“All history is based on decisions human beings have made,” says Dr. Marion. “In college, History is more than dates and names, it is learning to analyze and understand those decisions.”
This fits Dr. Marion’s teaching style perfectly. “We encourage students to make connections between themselves and what they learn, rather than just sit and become fattened by information.”
Dr. Marion debunks the myth of the aloof professor with his easy manner and a quick smile. He finds that students come to Emmanuel ready to learn and eager for the experience. “For some students it’s actually easier to do well in college than it was in high school,” he says. “There are more choices in the curriculum, and students find the intensity of the discussion is more invigorating.”
“ Bring your own context to college,” he promises, “and together we will challenge traditional thinking. We will reframe old ideas, skew them if you will, until they lead us to answers we wouldn’t normally find.”
He, in turn, is energized by their intensity. “Students who come to Emmanuel want to do something with what they learn. They are genuinely outraged by injustice,” he says. “It creates a contagious empathy.”

Meet Sister Mary Johnson, SND, Professor of Sociology and Religious Studies
