EMU Today

YPSILANTI — TRUEMU Night at Comerica Park on Thursday, August 1, drew more than 500 alumni, students, employees and supporters for a night of baseball and Eastern Michigan University pride. 

In addition to a donation of $5 for every ticket sold through the Tigers/EMU page, participants received a limited edition specially-branded green quarter-zip featuring the Tigers and Eastern logos. Guests at the game also were treated to a performance from the EMU dance team and mascot Swoop for the 7^th inning stretch “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.”

A pregame event hosted by the EMU Office of Alumni and Donor Engagement got the night started with free beverages and snacks, plus opportunities to visit and take photos with the dance team and Swoop.

"Eastern Michigan nights at the park are always special" said Maher Salah, Eastern Michigan University vice president for advancement. "It was a beautiful night and we appreciate the turnout from the EMU community. This tops off a year of activity that included EMU alumni events at the Red Wings, Pistons and the Detroit City Football Club. Stay tuned for next year’s schedule!”
