Affinity Groups & Celebrations

In our commitment to an inclusive environment at Emory, it is our goal to build a culture that recognizes the contributions of all individuals – including those who come from underrepresented groups. We are doing this in two ways: affinity month celebrations and affinity month groups.

Affinity Month Celebrations

While we will recognize the work of our diverse community year-round, we are organizing our initial efforts through focused affinity month celebrations to promote sharing, awareness and learning.

We are seeking self-nominations and/or peer nominations of faculty and staff members who are willing to share their stories. Nominations will be accepted on a rolling basis.
