Congratulations, Class of 2026!

Although your chapter as an Emory student has come to a close, the relationships you’ve built and the experiences you’ve shared will remain with you for a lifetime. Over the past four years, you have played an essential role in shaping our community…and your impact doesn’t end here.

As an alumna/us, we hope you will continue your commitment to creating meaningful, positive change across Emory’s communities. Join nearly 500 of your graduating peers who have chosen to support the area of Emory that inspires them most. A gift of just $5 can make a tangible difference in the lives of students in need, and contributions of any amount are truly an investment in the future of the communities that now rely on alumni like you to thrive.

We invite you to learn more below about the impact your gift can make through each student support fund.

As a special thank-you for your generosity, all graduating seniors who make a gift will receive a Class of 2026 Blue Tassel. Thank you for choosing to leave Emory stronger than you found it, and for carrying its legacy forward.
