What is Emory First?

Emory First, a part of Campus Life’s Belonging and Community Justice, builds on the university’s long history of ensuring that all students have access to the resources and sense of community essential to their successful educational journey. Emory First offers support for students throughout the school year by providing community-building events, skill-development workshops and campus resource pop-ups that educate students on the many available resources. In addition to offering programs that benefit first-generation and low- and limited-income college students, Emory First elevates awareness of Emory’s many resources that serve, celebrate and center the lived experiences of all students.
