Emory College Welcomes 50 Exceptional New Faculty This Fall
Emory College of Arts and Sciences welcomes an extraordinary group of 50 new faculty members to campus this year. They reflect ambitious recruitment and hiring over the last year.
Our newest faculty members continue to enhance the diversity of the Emory community. Their contributions will push the boundaries of research and discovery, scholarly impact, and pedagogy in the liberal arts and sciences.
Meet the Class of 2028
Saying “yes” to the right opportunity can change your life — which was certainly the case for the 1,884 students who are making Emory their new home this fall. Selected from a pool of 34,914 applicants, the Class of 2028 began move-in as early as Monday, August 19, to prepare for classes starting Wednesday, August 28.

At Emory College of Arts and Sciences we are dedicated to the discovery of knowledge, the creation of new works, and paradigm-shifting research with broad impact.
Our students learn how to think critically, weigh conflicting evidence, and ask questions that challenge existing orthodoxy. We expect them to communicate with clarity and collaborate within diverse communities.
Our students take these skills into every field as the thought leaders and innovators our complex and interconnected society needs.
Through our dedication to the creation and dissemination of knowledge, we are setting the standard for what a liberal arts research university can achieve.

Tayari Jones on her literary lineage and choosing Atlanta
Tayari Jones—author, professor, and griot of the American South—has a lot on her plate. She teaches a creative writing class at Emory University, she has book blurbs due and forewords to file, and she has words in a just-released craft book, How We Do It, where her Emory colleague Jericho Brown gathered Black writers to explain “how they go about making what they make.” “I know I have a novel,” Jones writes, “when I have a question to which I don’t know the moral/ethical answer.” She is also putting the finishing touches on her fifth and forthcoming novel, Old Fourth Ward, which is set squarely in Black Atlanta’s centers of gravity: the historic neighborhood adjacent to downtown Atlanta (and the book’s namesake) and Cascade Heights (her old stomping grounds).
