Fall Appeal 2011

this emma life

The journey began here‌ Many call their Emma experience “transformative.â€?

For generations of Emma Girls, that transformation can mean so many things.

It can be the inner journey toward discovering her talents; an experience that changed her life and therefore the course of who she became today; or a journey arm-inarm with a generation of women who have been bound together by friendships they formed at Emma.

This year, more than 300 girls are on their Emma journey. Many are penning their freshman letters to themselves and picturing what it might feel like to get their class ring, wear a white dress at Commencement and receive the red rose that symbolizes the culmination of their transformation at Emma.
