Hi, Eagles!Homecoming festivities are in full swing across campus, so don't miss today's photo gallery. Plus, we're taking you inside the latest student-centered spaces across campus: the Emory Interfaith Center and the Emory Identity Spaces. Both have opening ceremonies this weekend you won't want to miss. Emory students and alums are also stealing the show, from being selected as Humanity in Action fellows to becoming president and CEO of one of the country's most historic theater venues and beyond. And remember: Emory's community is here to support you. Please take time to review Emory's support resources and online safety resources. |
