CREATIVITY
In-person musical and theater performances enliven campus in March
As spring blooms on campus, March brings a full calendar of arts-related events to Emory, including Carlos Museum programs, student musical and theater performances, and a concert by contemporary chamber group Unheard-of//Ensemble.

 

COMMITMENT
Campus climate survey expands scope to include part-time faculty and staff
Last fall, a climate survey was distributed to all students, full-time faculty and full-time staff to gauge how people experience diversity, equity and inclusion on campus. The survey is now open through March 16 for part-time faculty and staff.

 

RESEARCH
Data-driven study digs into the state of U.S. farm livelihoods
A major new study led by Emory environmental scientists digs deeper into the question of why, despite the extraordinary productivity of U.S. agriculture, U.S. farm operators are systematically losing money.

 

ANALYSIS
Faith-based groups, public health more in sync on COVID-19 than some reports suggest
Emory sociologists showed that faith groups amplified public health messages in the pandemic’s early days — which runs counter to the contentious media narrative at the time.

RECOGNITION
Emory Healthcare named one of America’s Best Large Employers by Forbes
Emory Healthcare has been recognized as one of America’s Best Large Employers by Forbes magazine in 2022, ranking No. 55 out of 500 top large employers and No. 14 out of 48 organizations in the Healthcare and Social category.
