Helping to Deliver Results + Solve Problems
Emory’s Community Engagement Strategy, launched in 2021, aligns our university vision, mission, strategic framework, and institutional values with purposeful and measurable community engagement efforts.
Where there are common interests and alignment, we aspire to address local and global societal challenges by building on community strengths and strategic partnerships.
Our goal is to ensure the intentional use of our research, scholarship, and human capital—including faculty, staff, students, and alumni—as well as our economic influence—such as local buying and hiring—by focusing our efforts on the greatest need areas, as determined by internal capacity and external community feedback.
We look forward to growing and measuring our collective work over time.
