Emmanuel College Student Handbook

"The glory of God is a human being fully alive.” —St. Irenaeus

Dear Students,

 

The 2026-2027 academic year will bring many opportunities to connect with peers and faculty mentors, with organizations across Boston, and with ideas that will challenge you to think deeply about who you are and how you want to contribute.

 

All these experiences are designed to help you learn, grow, and become ready. Ready for a dynamic and rewarding career, certainly, but also ready to support others, strengthen communities, advance the common good, and continue learning throughout your life.

At Emmanuel, we measure our success by your success. We want you to feel known, supported, and challenged as you discover your strengths, pursue your goals, and prepare for what’s next.

This year, I encourage you to take advantage of all that Emmanuel offers. Ask questions. Build relationships. Try something new. Seek help when you need it. And know that this community believes deeply in your potential.

Ready? Let’s go!

 

Beth Ross, Ed.D.  
President
