Let’s Get Started

Academics Here every class is taught by a professor, not a teaching assistant, creating a deep, personal student/faculty relationship that begins day one. This is an engaged, energetic faculty with global connections in their fields.

The classes are small; the horizon is huge.

With more than 40 areas of study to explore, at Emmanuel College you will flex muscles of both the mind and the heart as you develop the ability to acquire and evaluate knowledge, and the imagination to shape new ways of perceiving, thinking and creating.

This is the basis of a Catholic liberal arts and sciences education. To develop your intellectual potential, your sense of self and your commitment to serve others in the community. To become a critical thinker, an ethical decision maker and a contributing member of the world around you.

At Emmanuel, Boston is your extended classroom We live in a vibrant international, culturally rich, sports-crazy and intellectually engaged city, and we take advantage of it at every turn.

This is your introduction to the world. Ideas grow, passions are sparked and connections are made when you begin to think globally and creatively.

Emmanuel College was founded on these ideas.

And on the mission to open doors through education and to lead, to act and to make a difference in this world.

For art class, you won’t just look at slides of Claude Monet’s Water Lilies, you’ll stand before the painting itself in the Museum of Fine Arts. In chemistry, you won’t just read about pH levels, runoff and ecosystems, you’ll analyze them in the collection of brooks, ponds and culverts known as Boston’s Muddy River.

Emmanuel College

Service-Learning Courses Service-oriented courses are designed to connect your values and interests to action and impact. In these hands-on electives, you’ll work for more than a grade, you’ll work to make positive change in the world.

Previously offered courses include “Chemistry of Boston Waterways,” “Spanish at Work in the Community” and “Management Research for Positive Change.”

Any college can impart lessons about life.

A personal college delivers powerful lessons on the life well and fully lived.

The Emmanuel Learning Experience We are a community with a lifelong passion for teaching and learning, rooted in the commitment to rigorous intellectual inquiry and the pursuit of truth.

Our goal is to instill in you the knowledge, skills and habits of a mind developed through the study of the liberal arts and sciences. We believe that the concepts and the vocabulary, as well as the creative and critical thinking of the liberal arts and sciences are basic to your intellectual, aesthetic and moral development.

In short, a full and meaningful life.

At Emmanuel, courses taught by teams of professors bring more than one perspective to the same subject matter. The sciences team combined with philosophy, for example, provides opportunity for a spirited discussion on the moral and ethical implications of new cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs.

It’s all part of our founding mission to transform lives and make a better world with a strong values-based education, integrating an exploration of human values and ethical issues with empirical facts and a traditional body of knowledge.

“ A Catholic college is a place where the dialogue between faith and reason is taken seriously. Here students engage in discussions of the ethical issues of our time.”

Sister Janet Eisner, SND, President

Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur In 1919, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, who believe that education is the greatest work on earth, opened Emmanuel College to provide an education to those who might otherwise not have the opportunity to achieve one. Their mission was clear: Making known God’s goodness‌educating for life.

The rigorous intellect, the vibrant faith and the joyful spirit of this powerful mission are embodied in Sister Janet Eisner, SND, who first came to Emmanuel as a student. She returned as a professor, served as the Chair of the English Department and the Director of Admissions, and now serves as President.

Sister Janet loves the students of Emmanuel College.

But make no mistake, her expectations are high.

This is an education that will make a difference in your life. In return, it is expected that you will make a difference in the lives of others.

Colleges of the Fenway Six colleges are better than one. Especially when your five neighbors have the campuses and special areas of study of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Simmons College, Wentworth Institute of Technology and Wheelock College.

All of the Colleges of the Fenway are within nine city blocks from each other.

Together, we share library privileges, cross-register for each other’s courses, play in our joint orchestra, compete in intramural sports and more. This is city life at its best, hanging out with the neighbors.

Carolyn A. Lynch Institute In this institute, our personal commitment to provide urban elementary and secondary school children with a top-quality education in mathematics, science and technology is met with a powerful combination of resources and training for you, their future teacher.

In this innovative teaching laboratory, generously funded by the Lynch Foundation, we help you become fluent in “smart classroom” technologies, empower your dedication with special skills that will help you transform the lives of kids who sorely need your help, and award scholarships.

Research, Publishing & Presentations In most colleges, working on major research projects shoulder to shoulder with faculty is for graduate students, who fight to be noticed in the sea of students eager for the privilege of stepping into world-class research labs.

In most colleges, undergrads never see their work in print.

But Emmanuel is not most colleges. This is a personal college committed to delivering a powerful punch.

Here, professors are always on the lookout for outstanding poems that can be published in anthologies, and papers that can be delivered at national conferences in science, psychology or political science.

Faculty members have reputations and connections all over the world, but they choose to teach at Emmanuel because they are driven to be part of your transformation.

Just ask any of these students.

“We want students to leave saying, ‘That was awesome. What’s next? I’m ready.’”

Josef Kurtz, Associate Professor of Biology

Internships & Career Development Intellectual rigor meets practical reality and theory meets practice in valuable internships across all disciplines. Your internship will be a pivotal component of your educational experience and an essential opportunity in your journey toward both a professional career and graduate school.

Here in Boston, Emmanuel College has partnerships across a broad spectrum of arenas, from marketing to financial services, from politics to communications, from law enforcement to health care. From Fortune 500 to non-profit, an internship will give you an on-the-spot view of how the world works. A world you are eager to join. A world you may change someday.

A world that welcomes Emmanuel students like you.

Jon Hardacker

Major: English Communication Internship: New England Sports Network (NESN) “I’ve always been a huge sports fan, so the opportunity to intern at NESN was too good to pass up. Working in the new media department, I had a hand in the day- to-day updating of NESN.com, posting original stories that I researched and wrote.

The portfolio I built was far greater than I could have imagined.”

Kana Ito

International Student from Japan Major: Art History Internship: Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

“ I helped build the MFA’s online learning tool, which transforms exhibitions into online galleries that teachers and students can access at any time.

For each gallery I developed learning goals, background readings, classroom activities and online resources. I discovered how digital media can create a fun, modern way to learn and teach through art.”

Lauren Blair

Major: Biology Internship: Biogen Idec

“Every day, I was responsible for conducting research, analyzing results and discussing the outcomes with other chemists – offering the chance to network and learn from distinguished members of the field. I gained proficiency with top-of- the-line instruments not typically accessible at the undergraduate level and acquired laboratory skills that will be extremely applicable to my future career.”

Christine Haggerty

Major: Global Studies Internship: O’Neill and Associates

“ My time at O’Neill and Associates offered me insight into the bigger picture of working in government and public relations and helped me determine a potential career. It was fascinating getting to work with some of the most well-known companies in Boston. I am excited to see where I can go from here.”

Study Abroad International study lets you pursue a language, a major, a dream. We offer access to over 500 study abroad programs all over the world, from Barcelona to Beijing, from a week at spring break to a summer, a semester or a year. Emmanuel faculty lead travel courses to Greece, India, Australia and more.

They will expand your mind, invigorate your spirit and offer a global context and perspective that will stay with you for life. Tomorrow they may open the door to a job, and then help you do that job better than you would have without the perspective of a global context.

Our International Programs Office, partnering with the Colleges of the Fenway’s Global Education Opportunities Center, is where you start. There you can find the country and program that’s right for you. Emmanuel students have studied management in China, education in Australia, art in Italy, political and economic development in South America and much more. What will you do?

“ I fell in love with Shanghai and my time there furthered my interest in developing countries.

The whole experience taught me so much about China and gave me a perspective textbooks simply cannot provide.”

Your residence hall is a place where you can gather, study, participate in activities and be at-home. All four residence halls are just steps from the middle of campus, so you are never far from all of the action.

Your community is more than a historic chapel, contemporary classrooms, labs and beyond them, playing fields. Your community is full of the right resources for personal success and expression.

23

First-Year Experience Right from the beginning we help you build a strong academic foundation and solid personal support for a successful college career. Our programs are designed to give you the freedom to explore your passions, the room to try new things and the skills to succeed. Our people are eager to help you spread your wings and soar.

Every first-year student takes a First-Year Seminar in the fall. These small working groups will introduce you to the academic building blocks of a traditional liberal arts and sciences education. You will hone your ability to read mindfully, to analyze information, to construct arguments and to communicate effectively. Your Academic Advisor will help you settle in academically and chart your course moving forward.

You will also find a professional Resident Director living in every hall, a student Resident Assistant on every floor and a Commuter Assistant ready to assist you. They are dedicated to supporting you both personally and academically.

Your first weeks on campus will be rich with opportunities to connect with student leaders, embrace service opportunities, join clubs and organizations, partner with mentors and explore possible majors. From your first morning on campus to your last evening before graduation, you will be part of a vital, exciting community that will sharpen your mind, unleash your potential, free your spirit and expand your horizons.

Mission & Spirituality In an active campus community committed to social justice, you make a difference, when and where you want.

We believe a personal and loving God calls each of us to engage in the contemporary world around us.

This is a community of possibilities, a force for action.

Campus Ministry Welcome to the soul of our mission, a community 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, no matter what faith they follow.

Through focused ministries, educational programs, volunteer service, prayer and Liturgies, Campus Ministry provides opportunities for you to deepen your spirituality, to act justly and to live faithfully.

The Center for Mission & Spirituality This is not a building, this is a cause that lives within the hearts of the entire Emmanuel community. The Center seeks to translate into action the strong missions, beliefs and legacy of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.

Community Service We always remember that we learn and teach, research and explore, work and play in the context of a greater society. A society of people who need what we can give. We challenge ourselves to act.

To lead. To give generously to others. We work for justice.

We develop 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.

Funded in part by a major grant from the Yawkey Foundation, this Center is alive with progress, with programs, cultural competency seminars, new service-learning courses and scholarships to keep students involved in the greater community.

33

Athletics Go Saints! At Emmanuel, sports can be for everyone.

Even as we recruit top DIII student-athletes, we welcome and develop everybody interested in recreation. Both on and off the playing field. We shape individual growth with strong athletic competition and high academic standards.

Here you will grow on a diet of physical, mental and social readiness. You will find leadership opportunities and support as you strive to become the individual you want to be.

The coaches and staff of the athletic department believe in the value of physical activity for the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health of all.

Your Network of Alumni They came to Emmanuel as you will, eager for the knowledge of the past and the skills for the future, and perhaps a little nervous.

They left four years later curious, confident and prepared for a lifetime of personal fulfillment and professional achievement, treating patients in hospitals and handling investments in financial firms.

Teaching kids in schools all across the country, keeping you on the edge of your seat in TV dramas and looking for cures in research labs.

The alumni of Emmanuel are not just those who came before you, they are a lifelong network of contacts and friends from coast to coast and continent to continent.

Right now you’ll find recent alumni pursuing exciting careers here: Allied Advertising • Arnold Worldwide • Bank of America • Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center • Boathouse Group • Brigham and Women’s Hospital • Cell Signaling Technologies • Children’s Hospital Boston • Cisco Systems • Ernst & Young • Fidelity Investments • Genzyme • Liberty Mutual Group • Mellon Financial • New England Journal of Medicine • Paul Revere House • Perkins School for the Blind • Soundtrack Studios • State House of Massachusetts • State Street Bank • United Nations Governor’s Office • USS Constitution Museum •

42

They’re not looking for you to catch up with them, they want to see you go beyond them.

“ When I interned with Genzyme I was eager to demonstrate my abilities to the world. I guess I did. Now I’m a Clinical Science Specialist with Sanofi-Aventis.”

David Jalkut, Class of 2009

Eleanor Mulvaney Seamans, Class of 1971 Chief Operating Officer, Seamans Capital Management Established Mulvaney Leadership Institute at Emmanuel College “ My Emmanuel experience taught me to make sense of complexity, take personal responsibility for continuous learning and focus on social responsibility.

Today the College continues this rich tradition of helping each student to bridge the gap between academic exploration and career success.”

Anne McGrail, Class of 1987 Writer and Producer CSI: NY, CSI: Miami and Boomtown “ When I first came to Emmanuel I felt as if I knew little about the outside world.

When I left the College, however, I had a much stronger sense of the world around me and had the courage to go after what I wanted. Now I’m a writer and producer on TV.”

Kayra Contreras, Class of 2008

Assistant to Co-President USA Networks

“To achieve my goal of working in television, I knew I had to make the most of my Emmanuel experience. My three internships, including one at WHDH-TV 7, helped pave the way for opportunities with NBC Universal’s prestigious Page Program, The Dr. Oz Show and currently USA Networks, the top-rated cable network. If it wasn’t for these experiences and the connections I made I would not be where I am today.”

Krystle North, Class of 2009

Quality Improvement Consultant Pediatric Transplant Center, Children’s Hospital Boston “ The opportunity to be fully immersed in your field of interest is so important as a student, especially when you’re not sure what you want to do after graduation.

Interning at Children’s Hospital led me to where I am today, working with a great department and learning new things every day.”

Aaron Belli, Class of 2011 Research Assistant Division of Viral Pathogenesis, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center “ After interning with the lab during my senior year, I was offered a full-time position upon graduating. The experience has been nothing but life altering.

It has solidified my desire to be a contributing member of the science community.”

Your Network of Alumni

What is the value of a Catholic liberal arts and sciences education? The freedom to explore your mind and your heart and learn what you really want to do with your life.

For many Emmanuel students, that means graduate school.

Abigail Clark, Class of 2010

M.S. Candidate, Zoology, University of New Hampshire “ Emmanuel undoubtedly prepared me for the next stage in my life, which is pursuing graduate studies. While studying at Emmanuel, my personal goal was to intern at the New England Aquarium.

I’m grateful to have achieved it. My experience definitely encouraged me to seek more answers surrounding marine life.”

Chris Borges, Class of 2010

Ph.D. Candidate, Immunology, Harvard Medical School “ I had opportunities at Emmanuel that few undergraduates could imagine.

I was a part of the Neuro-Immunology Research Project all four years, and as a junior, I was chosen from a pool of mostly post-doctoral students and hospital residents to present research at the American Transplant Congress. Harvard Medical School will train me, but Emmanuel is where I realized I wanted to dedicate the rest of my life to immunology and bone marrow transplantation research.”

Kristen Breslin, Class of 2010

M.B.A./M.S. Candidate, Accounting, Northeastern University

“Emmanuel helped me to discover a career path. From my internship with the accounting form of Robert Goodman, P.C., I leaned how an accounting firm works from people who were willing to help me grow. Today I work on the tax staff at Marum LLP, one of the largest accounting firms in the nation.”

Curtis Abram,

Class of 2011 J.D. Candidate, University of San Diego “ My time at Emmanuel has left me with many lasting memories. From my experience playing on a nationally ranked volleyball team to internships and studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain, the Emmanuel community granted me the support to immerse myself in experiential learning outside of the classroom. Most importantly, Emmanuel provided me the necessary tools to take on my next challenge — law school.”
