Hi, Eagles!🎥 Moments of challenge and self-doubt are an inevitable part of life. But the lessons these times teach can steer us onto a path of exciting possibilities. Through “Reframes: Discovering the Possible,” you'll hear from faculty, staff and alumni who learned to reframe life’s unexpected detours and embrace the positive and fulfilling changes these obstacles created. 🧩 Meanwhile, if you need a brain break, keep scrolling to play our Atlanta and Oxford campus Connections puzzles. 🗳 Early voting starts next week and Emory is once again hosting a DeKalb County polling location. We've got the information you need to make a plan to vote and sign up for a two-hour volunteer shift. 🏆 And, as always, we’re celebrating some outstanding Eagles this week. Andrew Wilson, a 2017 graduate who was also the first DIII swimmer to make it onto Team USA (and win gold), was inducted into a hall of fame. Sociology professor Karida Brown, who you met last week with “The New Brownies’ Book,” has been nominated for the NAACP Image Award. Keep reading for more exciting news and we'll see you next week, Eagles! |
