YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) - More than 300 alumni, donors and guests joined staff from the Eastern Michigan University Department of Athletics and campus administration to usher in a new era in EMU athletics with the grand opening of the Student-Athlete Performance Center tonight, Aug. 27. In use by student-athletes since mid-July, the event welcomed members of the public to the new facility for the first time.
Although the event was an opportunity for those who helped fund the project to fully-experience the fruits of their generosity, it was also an opportunity for the departments employees, coaches, and student-athletes to give thanks.
