Hi, Eagles!Since the first week of October is quickly approaching, it's time to mark your calendars for both Diversity Week, with almost three dozen events, and EmoryThanks Week, where you can show your gratitude to donors through thank you notes, photos and videos at stations across campus. With questions surrounding COVID-19, we're also bringing you updates from Emory experts. While you're here, don't miss information about Emory's AAPI teach-in, a new LGBT scholarship at Oxford College, Theater Emory's production of "Lost Girl" and more. And don't miss the latest episode of One Big Question, featuring U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón in conversation with President Gregory L. Fenves.
