Staff members maintain an open-door policy to ensure that students receive a top quality and personally satisfying education and faculty are always available by phone and email for answering students’ questions and concerns.
Opportunities abound for students to get more involved at Emperor’s College. From Student Council, to the annual College Retreat to work-study employment, students can always find a way to make their mark and let their voice be heard.
