欢迎回家计划
EMU’s 欢迎回家计划 is an equity initiative that will transform on-campus student housing to ensure that EMU students have access to quality and affordable housing with modern technology that meets the demands of today’s academic world. EMU’s student housing facilities have generally been neglected for decades, and it is time to reverse this trend and invest in housing for our students. An extensive engagement process took place over an 8 month process to include student/faculty feedback. 要了解更多信息， 访问澳门官网正规网站登录的活动页面.

What Are Other Universities Doing?
Other universities that Eastern considers to be peer institutions are investing considerable sums of money to upgrade their student housing to meet the demands of current and future prospective students. Many of these projects involve Public-Private 伙伴关系s (P3). Eastern must take similar action or we risk being at a competitive disadvantage. See what other universities are doing.
