Hi, Emory!

It may be the first full work week of 2023, but there are already lots of exciting things on the horizon.

There's nothing like the inspiration of a new year, and Emory's nine colleges have big plans for this semester.
Carol Anderson, Charles Howard Candler Professor of African American Studies, screens her documentary “I, Too” on Jan. 17 in conjunction with King Week.
Plan to attend additional King Week activities, which start Jan. 15 and run through the end of the month.

Have a great week!
