If you attend a Preview event at Emmanuel College or schedule a campus visit, it is highly likely that you will meet one of EC’s Student Counselors.
Emmanuel Student Counselors are optimistic, knowledgeable, and often are the first interaction prospective students and their families have on campus. Student Counselors offer a unique perspective and serve to welcome future Lions to the Emmanuel Community.
