Welcome to Emory Update, a new monthly communication that highlights Emory's impact in academics, health care, research, community service and more. I hope you find it inspiring and engage with us in whatever ways you find meaningful.

Emory's passion is rooted in an academic experience where students discover a culture of open and civil discourse, work closely with academic experts, and connect with a set of peers as diverse as the world around them. At the heart of our mission is a distinct purpose: to think beyond oneself.

And, as I hope you will see, Emory is also about resolve. We are wired for curiosity and committed to forging strong partnerships across metro Atlanta and well beyond. Thank you for making the time to learn more about our work.
