Dooley’s Week 2024 was surely medal-worthy.

On Monday, Dooley made his grand entrance, complete with bodyguards flanking his convertible and a torch lighting. Tuesday saw students flock to McDonough Field for the annual Taste of Emory, highlighting local Atlanta eateries and a variety of cuisines.

Wednesday featured the namesake event: Dooley’s Olympic Games. Students showed off their competitive spirit in bubble soccer and spike ball, won prizes and feasted on delicious treats.

The fun wrapped up on Friday evening with a concert featuring Icona Pop and Flo Milli. See the photos from the events on Wednesday and Friday to relive the fun until Dooley rises again for Dooley’s Week next spring.
