We understand finding community and connection at Emory is a top priority for your students. We also know that finding their place(s) can take time. Join campus partners from Student Involvement, Leadership, and Transitions, Belonging and Community Justice, and the Office of Spiritual and Religious Life who will highlight many ways in which students find community on campus. They will also explain how students can reach out and ask for help if they are not connecting, and how you can provide support and encouragement through this process.
