For Students

Thursday, Sep. 22, 2022

Hi, Emory!

🍁 We hope you’ve had a great week as the season officially shifts from summer to fall. Maybe we’ll start seeing beautiful fall leaves on campus soon.

⚽ The Carter Town Hall on Monday night with Megan Rapinoe was fantastic, so be sure to read our story with full coverage. If you’re on the Atlanta campus, you’ll also want to pay attention to the info about an emergency medical exercise in Hahn Woods this weekend.

📚 Activities for Hispanic Heritage Month continue, and it’s time to plan for the Decatur Book Festival on Oct. 1. There’s never a shortage of things to enjoy around campus!
