One of Emory University’s greatest strengths lies in the diversity of students, faculty, and staff. Collectively they value difference, believing the intellectual and social energy that stems from varied voices and perspectives is one of their best assets. The richness of Emory’s diversity extends beyond socio-economic background, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender, ableness, and national origin to include a wide range of interests, intellectual pursuits, beliefs, perspectives, political affiliations, and the like. The multiplicity of organizations, events, and programming here means that you’ll be able to explore, take risks, and discover the unique identity only you possess. Whatever your interests, background, or beliefs, at Emory you’ll find a diverse group of people to share them with.
