YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — The Eastern Michigan University Department of Athletics is inviting all of its alumni who graduated from the EMU College of Education for a special tailgate to honor our educators at the Extra Yard for Teachers Celebration.
EMU is inviting all teaching alumni to come to "The Factory" at Rynearson Stadium for a special tailgate on the Touchdown Terrace prior to the EMU Homecoming game this Saturday, Oct. 8. The event begins at 1 p.m. and will cost $35. The package includes a ticket to the game and the pregame tailgate where lunch will be provided. In addition, attendees will receive a parking pass, Eastern Michigan Education t-shirt and a commemorative game program.
"Strong education is one of the key components needed for the thriving of individuals, families, and communities," said Mike Sayler, dean of the College of Education at Eastern Michigan. "Educators help develop the talents of their students and at the same time help them develop those personal habits and life skills that allow each to flourish. Educators are not just teaching children, they are active partners in helping them become talented men and women of character and integrity.
