More Than Your Typical Liberal Arts
> Songfest, on the cover, is one of Emory’s legendary traditions.
During Orientation, freshman dorms battle it out in a song and dance contest so competitive (and fun) that you can even hear seniors still talking about their winning dance moves.

Professors who make the hair stand up on the back of your neck
Faculty Who Guide and Encourage At Emory, professors serve as academic advisers from the freshman year on, through our Pre-Major Advising Connections at Emory (PACE) program. With PACE, faculty and peer leaders will help you adjust to college life, find your passion, and plan for academic and career success.
At Emory, our professors—the ones who write the books, run the labs, and make discoveries—teach. They also advise students, cheer at games, and eat in the DUC with everyone else. They’ll teach you things that will surprise and inspire you, and you’ll connect with them for a lifetime. And, you just might find former US President Jimmy Carter, author Salman Rushdie, and His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama leading your class.

of Primate Behavior in the Department of Psychology. He studies human evolution by investigating our similarities with great apes. In 2007, Time featured him as one of the world’s 100 Most Influential People.

That’s part of the fun.” • Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Chemistry Dennis Liotta is one of three Emory researchers who discovered the groundbreaking HIV drug Emtricitabine. And, he says his first love is teaching. • Former US Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey teaches and advises students at Emory as Robert W. Woodruff Professor of English and Creative Writing. “Emory is unique because, from the moment I got here, it was made clear to me the importance placed on poetry, that I was the practitioner of an art already valued at this place.” • Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Mathematics Ken Ono specializes in number theory and has unlocked breakthrough theories about partition numbers. • Andra Gillespie, associate professor of political science, specializes in political mobilization and race, as well as competition between minority groups. Here she’s teaching the political science class New Black Leadership.
