Winter Warm-up

Winter Warm-up

Winter Warm-Up is our signature transition program that takes place throughout the first week of winter term: January 8-12, 2024. This series of events is targeted to incoming winter admits (freshman and transfer) and fall admits from the previous term (freshman and transfer). Winter term is our second largest admit class, following fall, and we know how tremendously challenging it can be to come in mid-year. Come engage and have a little fun with new peers, staff, and faculty members from across campus to get your winter term started off right.

Y2K Night, EMU Redwood Auditorium, 6:30–8:00 p.m.

Step back in time at our unforgettable Y2K Night! Join us for a nostalgic journey to the turn of the millennium. Dust off your denim, break out the butterfly clips, and get ready to dance like it’s 1999! This night will be filled with iconic tunes, throwback trivia, and a vibe that takes you straight back to the early 2000s. Grab your friends, embrace the Y2K aesthetic, and make some memories. Dressing up is encouraged; folks with the best Y2K fits will be entered into a raffle at the end of the night!
