Alumni Gathering - What is the future asking of us?

Alumni Gathering – What is the future asking of us?

with Invited Guest Lecturers & Facilitators

Sixty years after the founding of Emerson College, we are inviting former and future students to  gather to meet, discuss and work together on the tasks the future is asking of us.

Emerson inspired us to work in the world on our own individual journey. Now we can come together again to share the fruits of our work, join with others in experiencing again all that Emerson has to offer and sowing seeds for future work.

All are welcome! 

The Gathering is an opportunity for Alumni and Friends to help to shape Emerson’s future and those new Emerson experience the kinds of courses and activities offered here.
