Professors Who Are Mentors

Get to know your teachers

When she was a first-year student, Lindsey, a communications major, didn’t know her videography professor, veteran faculty member Jerry Holsopple, would become a trusted friend and mentor with whom she would collaborate on dozens of projects over the course of her time at college and beyond.

2010 science grad Nate didn’t guess that his chemistry prof Matt Siderhurst would invite him into a years-long research project that would become his first job after graduation and enable him to present published research at a national conference while still an undergrad.

Professors at EMU are here because of their passion for learning by doing. They bring a world of experience and expertise into the classroom, and are eager to share with students – and parents – like you.

Collaborate with expert faculty

EMU faculty are Fulbright scholars, leaders in peace studies and sustainability practices, and energetic educators who focus on experiential learning, or learning in the field. More than 75% have lived and worked internationally, in another culture. You’ll have many chances to learn.
