Hi, Eagles!We hope you’re settling into the new semester and taking advantage of all the great things to do around campus when you’re not in class.

Many of you participated in events marking Emory King Week, including Emory Day On and Oxford MLK Day of Service. Check out our photo gallery from the week. We’re also sharing news about programs through Emory Purpose Project, a grad student’s breakthrough in cache sifting and more. It only takes a few minutes to catch up on all things Emory. Have a great rest of your week! |
