Hello, Emory!☆ We’re kicking off the week with a look back at Ambassador Andrew Young’s recent visit to campus, where he discussed his “many lives,” the subject of a book authored by journalist Ernie Suggs. ☆ Looking ahead, we’re excited about watching senior Maya Wright compete in the semifinal round of “Jeopardy! High School Reunion Tournament” Tuesday night. And speaking of tomorrow night, that’s when the first round of the annual STAT Madness competition ends. Remember to cast your vote for Emory’s research! ☆ Emory students are on spring break, which means campus will be quieter and traffic could be lighter. Enjoy it and have a great week! |

Crossover Day in the Georgia Legislature and Emory’s lobbying policy |
|
|
A message from Emory’s Office of Government and Community Affairs (OGCA): Today is Crossover Day at the Georgia General Assembly. This means that if a bill does not pass on the floor of one chamber, it will not be allowed to “crossover” to be considered in the other chamber. We expect the pace of legislative activity to increase over the next three and a half weeks. Emory’s state affairs team is at the General Assembly every day, tracking all legislation that impacts Emory. Please remember that Emory has a lobbying policy ensuring the university remains in compliance with state and local laws and that, as an institution, we remain coordinated in our policy approach. If you have any questions about what is going on at the Georgia Capitol, or are thinking about visiting, please contact the OGCA team. Also, please look for the biweekly Capitol Report in tomorrow’s Emory Report. |
