Commencement 2018   SPECIAL FEATURE Honoring Emory's Class of 2018 With a keynote address by trailblazing entrepreneur Michael Dubin, Emory's 173rd Commencement honored the accomplishments of 4,857 graduates. From the opening procession to the final notes of the alma mater, take a look back through video, photos, audio and more. AWARDS Human health expert Michelle Lampl earns Exemplary Teacher Award Michelle Lampl, director of Emory's Center for the Study of Human Health, draws praise for her dedication as an educator, her concern for students and colleagues, and her outstanding scholarly contributions. AWARDS Cuttino Award honors physicist Eric Weeks as enthusiastic mentor Known for his excellence in research and teaching, physics professor Eric Weeks consistently and generously shares his passion for scientific discovery with students and colleagues. AWARDS Nicole Schladt receives graduate Brittain Award for advocacy, service, leadership For her leadership and commitment to community service, including co-founding Emory LGBTQ Legal Services, Nicole Schladt has been awarded the Brittain Award, Emory's highest student honor. AWARDS Jalyn Radziminski garners undergraduate Brittain Award for social justice impact The first in her family to attend college, Jalyn Radziminski has excelled academically while devoting countless hours to advocating for the needs of first-generation, African American and multiracial college students. AWARDS For McMullan Award winner Wei Wei Chen, art is centerpiece of life Wei Wei Chen's parents, who emigrated from China and did not attend college, encouraged her to embrace every opportunity at Emory — advice she took to heart by excelling in a broad selection of coursework and becoming a driving force for the arts. AWARDS Charles Moore receives Thomas Jefferson Award for community health service Frustrated by seeing indigent patients with serious illnesses who could have been helped by earlier treatment, Emory School of Medicine professor Charles Moore created a network of community centers that help bridge the health care gap in Atlanta.
