Welcome to Emporia State University and the 2007-2008 academic year. Whether you are new to ESU or a returning student, our faculty and staff are eager to interact with you and provide you with the individualized attention recognized as one of ESU’s hallmarks of excellence. Whether it relates to academic advising, instructional activities, or out-of-classroom experiences, we are prepared to partner in your academic journey.

 I encourage you to take this time in your life to explore opportunities and meet people from different backgrounds and experiences. Investigate new topics and issues, consider participation in our international program by visiting another country, or seek an area and volunteer your special skill. In all aspects of your experiences at Emporia State University, make your educational journey the most exciting by becoming involved in your academic programs, campus events and community activities. With 120 student organizations there is surely something that can pique your interest.  Please use this handbook to locate basic information about services and organizations available, as well as university policies and regulations that might apply to students. This is a great vehicle to keep your daily activities and assignments organized.  I wish you great success as you begin or continue your journey with Emporia State University and make available all services and support that ESU can offer in accompanying you on your path to graduation.
