| | This edition of Emory Update comes at an exciting time for the university, as we welcome students and faculty back to campus for the start of the new academic year. I’m delighted to introduce you to Emory’s Class of 2023, and I look forward to all they will accomplish at Emory and in the world.
These engaged, diverse new students join a campus community dedicated to discovery, creativity and innovation. Last month, Emory marked the fifth anniversary of treating the first Ebola patients in the U.S. by reaffirming our commitment to fighting global infectious diseases. Later this month, we will hear from one of our most distinguished professors, President Jimmy Carter, as he shares his wit and wisdom with first-year students at his 38th annual town hall, a beloved Emory tradition.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about Emory’s impact, and as always, I welcome your feedback.
