Come On In...

Common Grounds Coffeehouse is EMU's student-run gathering place. Whether you want to grab coffee, catch a concert, find a spot to hang out, study, or just relax with a game of chess, Common Grounds is a unique space for our community.

Common Grounds is the place to safely share and openly engage in dialogue ... about anything and everything. We display student artwork, bring in live music and cater events, all in a comfortable setting.
