To the Emmanuel College Community:
The College’s senior administration has been closely monitoring updates on the rapidly changing novel coronavirus outbreak worldwide. Cases of this respiratory disease, first identified in China, are being diagnosed in increasing numbers in other countries, mostly notably in South Korea, Italy and Japan. As students, faculty and staff are preparing for travel during the College’s upcoming spring break, we are tracking daily the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the State Department, and the Boston Public Health Commission. To that end, it is possible in the coming days that changes will need to be made to plans for college-sponsored travel programs, particularly ones with overseas itineraries. The College is also working closely with study abroad partners to monitor the safety of students currently studying internationally.
While the risk for residents of Boston is currently very low, with only one confirmed case of novel coronavirus in Massachusetts, the College encourages vigilance in terms of protecting your health, particularly for those who have traveled to an affected area recently. It is important for all members of the community to:
Any member of the Emmanuel community who has traveled from China or an international location where there is substantial, sustained transmission of coronavirus within the past 14 days and is experiencing symptoms such as those described above should immediately contact the Director of Health Services Lauren Davis at davisla@emmanuel.edu.
The offices of Student Affairs and Human Resources will be reaching out to all students, faculty and staff to gather information on upcoming non-college sponsored travel plans. Following spring break, new protocols may be in place, depending on the latest developments and recommendations of national and local agencies.
Join us for an information session on the new Legal Studies Minor
Thursday, February 27 12:15-1:30 p.m.
Room 435, Eisner Administration Building
Emmanuel’s minor in legal studies offers an interdisciplinary look at the workings of the law—from the judicial system and legal reform to issues of justice and injustice from political, philosophical and sociological perspectives. Scholarship of legal studies upholds the College’s mission of greater social, economic, and political justice, to all of which study of the law is critical. This minor is ideal for students in any major who are interested in and would benefit from an introduction to the legal system and related public policy issues.
For more information contact: Dr. Marie Natoli Professor of Political Science at natoli@emmanuel.edu
The Muddy River Restoration Project Maintenance and Management Oversight Committee (the MMOC) and the Muddy River Restoration Project Cabinet cordially invite the public to
The Muddy River Project - Climate Resilience Through Green Infrastructure
Thursday, February 27th, 5:30-8 p.m., Emmanuel College Auditorium
The Muddy River and its parklands, part of Frederick Law Olmsted’s Emerald Necklace, are undergoing a major restoration. Thanks to Phase 1 of the Restoration Project, a key section of the River has been restored as an open-air watercourse with new culverts and bridges created at the Riverway and Brookline Avenue.
Join us to learn the latest about Phase 2 of the project from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Town of Brookline and the City of Boston. Presentations will address the Muddy River restoration, the Carlton Street Footbridge Rehabilitation and improvements to the Muddy River parks. Speakers will also describe how, as it restores a key green environment, the project has become an important component of local municipal plans for climate resilience.
Speakers:
Chris Cook, Chief of Environment, Energy and Open Space, City of Boston
Erin Gallentine, Director of Parks and Open Space, Town of Brookline

Like many college campuses across the nation, Emmanuel College faces the problem of food insecurity – the infrequent access to nutritious food – within its student body. In order to begin addressing this issue, a collaboration of students, faculty and staff have developed the Swipe-It-Forward program. This program enables students, faculty and staff to “donate” meals, making them available for students in need.
Students can donate up to a predetermined number of meal swipes from their own meal plans, while faculty and staff may make monetary donations to an online “bank”. Students who self-identify as food insecure may request up to 5 meal swipes from this bank per semester, which may be spent at any Bon Appetit operation at Emmanuel College that accepts meal swipes.

When choosing a college, Eileen knew two things for sure—that she would be able to get to know her professors and peers and that she wanted to be in an area in which she would have myriad opportunities in the research and medicine.
When Melissa started at Emmanuel, she chose what she believed to be two separate and distinct majors—studio art and history—to fulfill her both her personal and professional interests.
Kai has always had the inclination to try to make any situation better. When he was searching for colleges, Emmanuel's social justice mission resounded deeply with his ideals of supporting those who need the help.
Robert’s interest in the workings of the wider world grew in 2011 as the Arab Spring became international news. “I love history,” he said, “so knowing the history of the states as well as their current affairs made their actions and interactions much more interesting to me.”
Growing up in a suburban town outside of Boston, going to college in the city had always been a goal for Jake. After touring Emmanuel's campus he felt it had the perfect mixture of “small campus feel and big city appeal.”
Michael chose Emmanuel because of its location in Boston and its proximity to the city's "big players," specifically its leading names in the financial industry.
What began as an on-campus job in Emmanuel's student center transformed into a new career path for Jessie, one that brought her to Harvard University as a master's candidate in higher education administration.
Chemistry graduate Jennifer Scarborough '17 has found a way to combine her love for science and education. She shares her enthusiasm for the subjects as an education associate in the Hall of Human Life exhibit at Museum of Science Boston—one of the top science museums in the country (according to National Geographic).
Emmanuel is a place where students broaden their sense of what’s possible and prepare for inspiring careers in an ever-changing world. Be here.
