Eastern Michigan University is set to host a watch party for Amazon Prime's "The College Tour," featuring ten of its students. The event will take place on Wednesday, October 16, at 12:30 p.m. in the EMU Student Center Auditorium.

"The College Tour," hosted by Alex Boylan, aims to showcase the diverse and inspiring journeys of students across the United States. The watch party will offer attendees a movie premiere atmosphere with a green carpet entrance, photo opportunities, popcorn, and candy. Katie Condon, vice president of Enrollment Management at EMU, will address the audience, and a special message from Boylan will be part of the event. An award ceremony and Q&A session will conclude the gathering.
