One of the best parts of considering what college to attend is when you can take a moment to picture yourself there: going to class, eating in the dining hall, sitting in the sun on the Quad. In the midst of college application season, we'd like to give you another look at Emory -- a virtual visit -- so you can take a moment to picture yourself here. If you like what you see, we think you should apply. Take a moment to visit with us, virtually, and see for yourself how you'd look at Emory.
Emory is one of only a handful of schools to rank in the top 20 in both the Directors Cup of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics for best all-around athletics program, and the 2010 U.S. News & World Report rankings of best national universities. We emphasize "athletics for all," with a range of varsity and intramural teams, and undergraduates are required to take P.E. courses.
The scholar-athletes on our 18 NCAA Division III varsity teams achieve high marks in the classroom and on the scoreboards. Women's volleyball: second in the nation. Women's soccer: first championship quarterfinals. Women's cross country: second in the region. Men's and women's swimming and diving: first at the Emory Fall Invitational. And the men's basketball team is busily blanking the competition.
In preparation for the holidays, Candler School of Theology is offering "A Thrill of Hope: The Christmas Story in Word and Art," a DVD designed for use in Sunday school classes and other group gatherings. The multimedia guide is based around the art of internationally renowned artist John August Swanson, whose work on the Christmas story is displayed at the Candler School of Theology.
Emory's theology school defines what it means to be the whole people of God, to live in community, to deepen spiritual formation, and to embrace creativity and the arts. Gifts to Candler through Campaign Emory support this lively and imaginative approach.
