Student Success

It’s about you
It’s about you doing something you care about. 
It’s about you being someone you’d like to hang out with.

Emory & Henry won’t give you answers–Emory & Henry will push you to find your own answers.

You will read. You will work in the community. You will meet interesting people. You will confront difficult issues. You will be enlightened, intrigued, challenged, encouraged, guided, and set free to explore. You will share and talk and explain your point of view. 

At Emory & Henry you will learn to be a contributing member of your community. You will find your place in a global society. 

You’ll discover that learning doesn’t begin or end with school: it is a lifelong pursuit. And those who join that pursuit are the ones who live the best lives.

Are you ready to live your best life?
