Hi, Emory!This week’s issue is a buffet of news. Meet the 2022 Emory grad who won a highly competitive Pickering Fellow award, learn more about new research focusing on the LGBTQ+ experience in the South, get to know the inaugural director of the Center for AI Learning and more. We’re also digging into the racial climate survey results about campus experiences. Oh, and hear from two alumni who lead New York City's Office of Chief Medical Examiner. We’re not saying that it's like a realistic “CSI” episode ... but we're not not saying that, either. Have a great rest of your week, Eagles! |

The DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management is repairing water lines at the intersection of Clifton Road and Haygood Drive. This work will occur Monday–Friday (excluding major holidays), 9 a.m.–5 p.m., and is scheduled to last one month. Buildings will remain open and accessible throughout construction. However, bike lanes and sidewalks near the intersection will be impacted, so bicycle riders and pedestrians will need to find alternate routes. Police officers and traffic flaggers will assist motorists in moving safely around the closures. Campus Services officials ask that those who use Clifton Road and Haygood Drive plan for traffic delays and avoid the area if possible. |
