Good morning, Emory!It’s Commencement day for Emory’s Class of 2025, with the ceremony beginning at 8 a.m. after being moved indoors due to the forecast of severe weather. Anyone can join the pomp and circumstance — and hear the keynote address by Grammy Award-winning performer and philanthropist Usher — by watching online. Last week we shared stories of outstanding graduates from each of Emory’s nine schools along with profiles of award-winning faculty. We’ll be back in your inbox tomorrow with full coverage from today’s events. Thanks for reading! — The Emory Report Team |
