Boston

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, since 1979, 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,

snd, President

The Greatest Work on Earth In 1919 the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, an international Catholic religious congregation, defied the prejudices of the day and founded Emmanuel College for women. With their mission of “making known God’s goodness... educating for life,” they laid the foundations for generations of bright, motivated women who had had few educational resources. Today, Emmanuel College is a vibrantly co-ed experience. And the same stones laid nearly 100 years ago are vividly reflected across the quad in the glass-fronted Jean Yawkey Center, the active, open student center that has become the living room of our campus.

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 system to help you map out and continuously revise and update your own educational plan. 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

The Carolyn A. Lynch Institute

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.

Dedicated to preparing teachers in mathematics, science and technology for urban elementary and secondary levels, The Carolyn A. Lynch Institute awards scholarships to talented undergraduates with a commitment to this goal. Through generous funding provided by the Lynch Foundation, a teaching laboratory prepares future teachers to be completely fluent in “smart classroom� technologies, giving our teacher candidates special skills that will help them transform the lives of the diverse populations of children they will educate.

Our Honors Program Honors work sharpens critical-thinking and communications skills and opens doors to fascinating research opportunities in a wide range of disciplines. Each year, highly motivated students are invited to participate.

First-year students are eligible to take part in the Emmanuel Honors Colloquium, an intense, bi-monthly discussion of books with faculty.

Pre-Med and Pre-Law Professions Preparation To help Emmanuel students continue to succeed beyond our campus, our pre-med advisory committee helps those considering healthcare graduate work position themselves for and apply to medical, dental or veterinary school.

Similarly, if you are interested in law school, an advising committee will help you tailor your academic program toward that goal and will guide you through the law school application process.

Academic Resource Center (ARC) From workshops to individual peer tutoring, the ARC offers specially designed programs to help students in any major meet their academic goals.

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 healthcare and medical fields provide Emmanuel College undergraduates the kind of access and resources usually reserved for graduate programs at large research universities.

The most important thing you’ll learn at Emmanuel College is critical thinking. We believe that in today’s world, more than ever before, it is crucial that you be able to evaluate the pop culture, the new discoveries and the massive amounts of information coming at you every day.

Merck Research Laboratories, Boston Emmanuel College is the only college in the country to boast a 12-story, 300,000square-foot private research facility right on campus that is doing important work in the fields of cancer treatment, Alzheimer’s disease and obesity. It is owned by Merck & Co., the global research-driven pharmaceutical company, on land they lease from the College. In return, Emmanuel College has access and opportunity to a world few undergraduates ever get to see.

Every summer, Merck selects five students for a special paid internship program; one is always an Emmanuel student, handpicked by the faculty that knows them best, their own science faculty. Merck researchers and scientists speak in our seminar programs. Merck offers unique pieces of scientific laboratory equipment to the College, as well. It is an unusual partnership and a valuable one.

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.”

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 Professor 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 30 years, Professor 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 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 Professor 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, Assistant 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, Professor 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. “ First-year students come to Ceramics thinking they’re going to make a bowl.

Instead they get the rich history of ceramics, some simple chemistry of the medium, an understanding of technique, things they never learned in high school.”

Boston enriches the entire experience.

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 hip Harrison Avenue art district.

Professor Naitoh is also the faculty advisor to the Art Club, which might make a beautiful blanket for a homeless shelter and take a trip to the galleries of New York City in the same year.

Meet Javier Marion, Assistant Professor of History

“ All history is based on decisions human beings have made,” says Professor Marion. “In college, History is more than dates and names, it is learning to analyze and understand those decisions.”

Professor 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.”

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.”

This fits Professor 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.” “ 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.”

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

“ I don’t want their minds to be gated communities,” says Sister Mary of her students. “I will do anything I can to take down the gates.

I teach two Service Learning courses and the transformation I see in the students is inspiring.”

SOC2113, Research Methods, is one.

This class went out among 25 ethnic parishes in the Archdiocese of Boston —from Ugandan to Vietnamese, from German to Korean—to collect data.

They conducted interviews with members of the communities and made multiple visits to the churches.

“The confidence my students get between the first day of class and the last is amazing. They’re diving into the deep end of the pool,” Sister Mary says.

Service learning builds bridges between commitment and action.

Emmanuel students are encouraged to articulate their social consciousness.

They may help feed the poor in homeless shelters or make a difference by working at the Massachusetts State House. The campus is alive with a real commitment to social justice. “ After I make the bridges,” says Sister Mary, “the students initiate their own versions. They embrace what they want to do in light of their own interests and talents.” “ We spark the fire,” says Sister Mary, “ but the students keep it burning.”

What makes you happy? Politics? History? Singing? Seeing your words published in a magazine? Playing baseball? With over 90 different co-curricular clubs, activities and organizations on campus, there is always something exciting happening at Emmanuel.

What gives you peace? No matter what your religion, we believe in the goodness of God and the goodness within each other. We are open-minded, diverse and inclusive. We believe wonderful things happen when people believe in themselves.

This is a campus alive with activities and athletics. We are big-hearted in spirit, global in outlook and small enough to create individual access to whatever opportunities we seek. We are a community with a strong sense of mission, a vibrant, confident faith and a joyful spirit.

Emil Ata CLASS OF ’09

Why is a college education important to you?

I am a first-generation Lebanese American and only the second member of my family to attend college. I see my education as the first step to my future success.

What interested you in attending Emmanuel?

My older sister, Nina, was a member of the first coed class at Emmanuel. Her time here allowed me to visit and experience the College in a more natural and relaxed environment.

Also, I appreciated the College’s great location in Boston and liked the idea of being just a train ride away from home.

You recently took part in a service-learning course. What was the experience like?

As a management major, I enrolled in Principles of Marketing with Associate Professor of Management Dr. Mirtha Crisostomo. I worked on a project with Goodwill in which I evaluated its current job training program and created a marketing plan to assist in increasing enrollment. Professor Crisostomo emphasized how significant our work would be in helping the non-profit organization and the class offered a great opportunity to give back to the community.

How does being an Emmanuel student help you achieve your future goals?

Emmanuel is preparing me to graduate and enter the professional world with confidence that I will be able to succeed. The knowledge that I have gained as a student at the College, inside and out, will guide me in my future.

Any thoughts on what you would like to do after graduation?

I hope to eventually attend graduate school for an MBA in international management. I would like to work in the Boston area and pursue a career in the global business arena.

Campus Ministry lies at the soul of our mission, promoting a community spirit that lives and celebrates the messages of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur: a belief in the goodness of God and the goodness of God’s people. Emmanuel welcomes students of all faiths into our community.

We seek to create a vibrant, welcoming campus based on Gospel values.

We challenge and support you with difficult questions. Whether it’s a need for conversation or short-term pastoral counseling, the staff of Campus

Ministry is eager to help. A variety of student-focused ministries, programs and discussions encourage you to put your beliefs into action and share your gifts with the Emmanuel community and beyond.

Through educational programs, volunteer service, prayer and liturgy, we provide opportunities for you to deepen your spirituality, to act justly and to live faithfully.

Jenny Marin CLASS OF ’09

Where are you from?

I am from West Bridgewater, Massachusetts.

Why did you choose Emmanuel College?

Emmanuel was always my top choice for schools in Boston. When I was accepted, there was no doubt in my mind that it was the place I wanted to be for the next four years.

Many of my high school teachers were Emmanuel graduates and spoke highly of the College. I liked the idea of attending a school where professors know you by name, the campus is beautiful and not to mention, just one block from Fenway Park!

What is your major?

I am majoring in psychology with a concentration in health and counseling.

You have twice visited South Africa as part of a service trip. What was it like?

South Africa is one of the most beautiful countries I have ever seen and the trip was absolutely amazing. We took part in service work related to the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals, which were created by world leaders in 2000 with hopes of ending poverty, hunger and disease in Africa. Our group did as much as we could to help those whom we met. We listened to their stories, sometimes fighting back tears to hear of their experiences. It was these moments that led me to return the following year.

And they are ones I will never forget.

What would you like to do after graduation?

I would like to find a job that will enable me to work with young women, preferably middle school age, in the Greater Boston area. I eventually hope to pursue a master’s degree in psychology as well. As a student at Emmanuel, I have been provided amazing opportunities academically, spiritually and emotionally. I feel that if I had attended another school I would not have been as fortunate. I am very grateful and proud to say I attend Emmanuel College.

Jean Yawkey Center for Community Leadership at Emmanuel College is dedicated to developing service opportunities and leadership skills for our students, while building bridges between this community and the young people of the City of Boston through after-school and summer programs.

Sarah Soldano CLASS OF ’10

Where are you from?

I am from Bethel, Connecticut.

What is your major?

My major is English with a concentration in writing and literature. I have always been interested in literary arts magazines, as I am a lover of both creative writing and art.

During my sophomore year, I also decided to minor in graphic design. I interned with Emmanuel’s Office of Marketing Communications last year, which I really enjoyed. I learned a great deal about design and the experience added to my interest of pursuing a career in the field.

How about other activities you are involved in?

I am a member of the women’s track & field team as well as president of Bang! Magazine, the College’s literary publication. I have really enjoyed being part of both organizations. I specialize in the high jump, long jump and short sprints for the Saints track team and have been involved with Bang! Magazine ever since my freshman year.

What makes your college experience special?

Emmanuel’s urban location and membership within the Colleges of the Fenway is something I truly enjoy about being a student here. I love that there are so many college students in the area and that we get to attend events at other colleges. I’ve been to readings at MIT, concerts at Berklee College of Music, art galleries at Boston University and Massachusetts College of Art and Design, theatre productions at Wheelock and participated in many more off-campus activities. Plus, I love that the Museum of Fine Arts is just around the corner. Overall, Emmanuel’s location has so much to offer.

What’s next?

I hope to attend graduate school and then pursue a career in graphic design while working independently on my creative writing. One thing that really interests me is writing and illustrating children’s books so that I can combine my love of art and writing.

If This is Your Place, This is Your Living Room Every residence hall has a lounge, every residence room is a place to chill, but The Jean Yawkey Center really is the living room of our campus.

It’s our student center, our cafeteria, the place to meet and greet. The place to see and be seen. The floor to ceiling windows look directly across the grassy quad to the stained glass windows of the peaceful Chapel, tucked within the historic stone Administration Building.

In the residence halls, you’ll find free Internet access, e-mail, voice mail and cable TV for every resident. In the Administration Building, you’ll find a club and meeting room for commuters.

And, right outside the front gate, you’ll find Boston.

Some of our favorite places in Boston • The courtyard of the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum • The scene on Landsdowne Street • The Frog Pond on Boston Common, for ice skating • The Hatch Shell on the Charles River Esplanade, for free concerts • The Buddha room at the MFA • The Boston Public Library • The State House on Beacon Hill • Faneuil Hall Marketplace • The outdoor cafés on Newbury Street • The funky restaurants near Fenway Park.

What will yours be? Besides your place right here on campus.

Dan Campagna, Class of 2007, found a talent for communications in the liberal arts arena and became an English major. His mother attended Emmanuel College, too.

In fact, they lived in the same residence hall, on the same floor 20 years apart.

Dan loved the location of Emmanuel College. “One day I just walked down the street to Fenway Park and filled out a general application. I became a Fenway Park tour guide and I have a World Series ring!�

You can choose to spend a summer, a semester or a year at one of many universities. The simple handout “10 Steps From Dream to Departure” will get you started. Then the Study Abroad coordinator will help you decide which country and program are right for you. Emmanuel students have studied around the world, including management in China, education in Australia, art in Italy and political and economic development in Central America.

Be inspired by those who walk the talk. Speakers over the past few years have included Dr. Paul Farmer, the medical anthropologist and physician who has dedicated his life to treating some of the world’s poorest populations; Martin Luther King III, son of legendary civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr, and a civil rights leader in his own right; and Mitch Albom, best-selling author and nationally syndicated columnist.

The Colleges of the Fenway Our five neighboring colleges, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Simmons College, Wentworth Institute of Technology and Wheelock College, join us in sharing resources so that you can take a highly specialized course we may not offer, find an unusual library book, or play in our shared orchestra.

L.E.A.D.E.R.S. is a unique program

that recognizes the learning that takes place outside the classroom. The program fosters confidence, leadership skills and inner strength by focusing on Leadership, Ethics, Activities, Dedication to Service, Exploration, Relationships and Spirituality.

This is your place to spread your wings Our recent graduates are teachers and graphic designers, trust specialists and studio managers, research assistants, systems administrators, designers, social workers and legislative aides, already making a difference in the world around them.
