Campus Life

Emory University's Division of Campus Life cultivates a welcoming and dynamic community that is committed to developing skills necessary for lifelong success and positive transformation in the world.

In addition to the over 500 organizations officially recognized by the Emory Student Government Association, Campus Life provides numerous resources to assist you with social and intellectual advancement, including public safety, spiritual and religious life, recreation and wellness, mail services, and bookstores.

Housing

The Emory School of Medicine Housing portal provides resources for all learners at the School of Medicine. Emory has two graduate housing facilities on or near campus: Campus Crossings Briarcliff (operated by Campus Apartments) and The Ridge. Students can also find housing options on the Emory Off-Campus Housing website.  View a complete listing of all nearby housing.

Each year in June, the Office of Admissions and the rising second year class host a Housing Weekend for the incoming medical students. This event is designed to showcase the variety of housing options available in the Emory area and surrounding neighborhoods.

Student Government

The students at Emory University are governed by the Graduate Student Government Association (GSGA) and all student organization charters must be approved by the GSGA.

The Medical Student Senate (MSS) approves all applications for medical student groups seeking charter with the SGA.

Starting a Student Organization

Students are encouraged to charter new organizations when there is interest. Funding for guest speakers, teaching forums, and other education events are available for chartered organizations.

For more information about chartering a student organization, please visit the Medical Student Senate website.

Medical Student Class Officers

Each medical school class will elect officers to coincide with each phase of the curriculum, including Medical Student Senators. These elections are run in accordance with the SGA Code of Elections. The current list of officers for each class can be found on the Student Portal.

Other Medical Student Positions

There are numerous opportunities for medical students to serve on various committees and organizations. Such opportunities, like student representatives for Honor Council, Wellness, individual courses and clerkships, the Executive Curriculum Committee, are introduced and discussed at various meetings throughout the year. A list of these can be found on the Student Portal.
