Emory gained renewed energy Jan. 25 as most spring semester classes got underway. Face coverings and physical distancing are required for students, faculty and staff on campus, while many continue to learn, teach and work remotely.

The on-campus community has expanded moderately, while maintaining one student per room in residence halls. In addition to first-year students and international students, those invited to live on campus this spring include participants in approved undergraduate research programs and experiential learners engaged in professional development necessary for spring degree completion.
