Merit Pages: Highlighting Student Success
Emerson College showcases student achievements through Merit Pages, a social media and hometown news distribution program, which allows the College and students to share academic and extracurricular successes with family, friends, and future employers.
Students are welcome to participate by creating a Merit profile. We also encourage all departments, organizations, and other campus offices to submit student awards and achievements to news [at] emerson.edu (news[at]emerson[dot]edu), so we can recognize our students’ impressive work.
