Staff Fest 2024 rocks the Quad with music and more

Employees from across Emory’s workforce gathered on the Quad June 14 for Staff Fest, the annual celebration for university employees to mark the conclusion of the academic year.

2024 marked the 46th-annual Staff Fest. The year’s theme, “Rock the Quad,” was fitting, as live music from Atlanta’s Band X provided a festive backdrop for the fun. Hundreds of staff enjoyed the time with colleagues while trying their skills at axe throwing and rock wall climbing, competing in cornhole and other games, having caricatures drawn and lingering over lunch.

The fun of Staff Fest also brings good natured competition. Congratulations to all the 2024 winners:
