Using the EMU Aerie, the Archives’ mobile oral history recording booth, student oral historians captured the formative experiences and perspectives of EMU alums from a variety of campus eras. Here, alum Don Ward (class of 1992) describes his initial interest in, and journey to, EMU in the fall of 1984. He details his relationships and impressions of notable EMU employees like President John Porter, Laurence Smith, and Roy Wilbanks.
