Life at Emory
Emory's students, faculty and staff create a welcoming and enterprising community. We enjoy a host of colorful traditions that range from Wonderful Wednesdays and Dooley's Week to Classroom on the Quad and Emory Cares International Service Day. And we always have room for new ideas -- two students with a vision of making a difference started Volunteer Emory.
Sustainability
From the copy room to the operating room, from the classroom to the residence hall, Emory strives to deepen our sustainability leadership. Emory is building on a long history of protecting greenspace and biodiversity, conserving resources, educating students, and innovating in actions supporting sustainablility, recently earning a Gold rating from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education for these comprehensive sustainability efforts.
