As times change, new opportunities arise.

Help us offer them to our students.

Our goal is to give the students of today the same kind of opportunities we were able to give you. The cost of providing the most rewarding Emmanuel experience is always a challenge. Gifts from our alumni play a significant role in all of our students' lives. Read the stories of just a few of our generous alumni and the thoughtful gifts they've given to Emmanuel College

The Maureen Murphy Wilkens Science Center

Maureen Murphy Wilkens is a 1956 graduate of Emmanuel College. She and her husband Frank Wilkens have generously supported the College for many years and we are proud to name our new state-of-the-art Science Center in their honor.

At the dedication of the building, Sr. Janet Eisner, SND, President of Emmanuel College said to the Wilkens: "Today we dedicate this spectacular building in your honor, and in tribute to your friendship, your partnership, and your confidence in our educational mission. You share our passion for educating students in the 21st century, and as we spoke about this new academic science center, you saw its potential - not simply in terms of bricks and mortar, but in the ways it could impact our students' lives. Through this building, you are enabling intellectual growth and exploration to benefit students for a lifetime, and for that you have our deepest gratitude and affection."  Learn more »
