We’ll share more details in the coming weeks. The week capped off with the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams both capturing UAA Championship titles Saturday. Congratulations to the Eagles! Amidst the celebrations, however, we know the events in Turkey and Syria are weighing on many minds. Faculty, staff and students are invited to join a community gathering for earthquake support on Wednesday. More details are below. Have a good week, Emory family. |
