We invite you to join the Emerson College Family Executive Council. This vibrant community meets twice a year and throughout the year in local chapters. The purpose of the Council is to connect fellow families, engage members with campus programs and faculty, and enrich the student experience through philanthropy to the Parent and Family Fund. A gift to the fund has an immediate impact on college priorities, including faculty support, scholarship enhancement, expanding our academic footprint, and establishing new programs and extraordinary learning opportunities. With the support of engaged families, Emerson students can spark powerful change in their education and beyond!
