Picture Yourself at Emerson

Saturday, April 11th

Are You Ready?

This isn’t a campus visit. It’s a preview of your future. You’ve been admitted, which means you belong here. Now it’s time to feel what that really means.

Picture Yourself at Emerson is an exclusive experience for admitted students designed to give you more than answers; it gives you access to our stages, classrooms, professors, storytellers, and our community of creators and collaborators.

For one day, you’re not “visiting.”
You’re living Emerson.

What to Expect
You won’t sit back and watch.
You’ll step into the story and play a part in it.

Your Day Starts Center Stage
In the beautifully restored Emerson Colonial Theatre, you’ll feel the energy that fuels this community. This isn’t just inspiration, it’s proof: your next chapter has real momentum.

Choose Your Path, Just Like You Will When You're Here
You’ll break off by major and head to mock classes led by faculty who are rewriting industries, not repeating curriculum. Get hands-on, ask questions, experiment, and feel what it's like to be pushed, challenged, and seen.

You won’t just hear about our classrooms.
You’ll be in one.

Parents & Families
Get a deeper look at programs, outcomes, and academic philosophy from the experts shaping them.
Then hear directly from faculty, staff, and current parents about academics, campus life, financial aid, and support systems that set students up to thrive.

Emerson Signing Ceremony
Join us for a special Signing Ceremony, a celebratory moment designed for students who are ready to take the next step and officially claim their place in the Emerson community.

Complete your enrollment deposit onsite through your admissions portal (if you haven’t already)
Sign a commemorative certificate alongside Emerson leadership and capture the moment with a celebratory photo!

Already Deposited? You're Still Invited!
Students who have already secured their place at Emerson are encouraged to participate—sign your certificate, celebrate your commitment, and mark the beginning of your Emerson journey alongside your future classmates. This is more than a signature. It’s the beginning of your Emerson story.

Coming in from out of town?

Don't just come for the day, make plans for a weekend you and your family will never forget. Catch a show, experience Boston's world class dining scene, take a stroll through any of our many beautiful parks and green spaces, shop on Newbury or Charles streets, jump on a Duck Boat tour, walk the historic Freedom Trail, visit the Boston Public Library...you get the idea!
