Most people think of Emory as a sort of "Pre-Med Central." (It's certainly a fantastic place to be if you are pursuing a career in medicine, but the majority of students at the College, at least by junior year, are not pre-med.) Emory's also well known for its myriad research opportunities and strong emphasis on the liberal arts (it's got one of the best Creative Writing programs in the nation!). Finally, it has quite the academic reputation and is sometimes referred to as the 'Harvard of the South.'

Dooley's week: a week in the spring that is full of celebrations! Dooley, our secondary mascot to the Emory eagle, is a skeleton and a joke. Every day of Dooley's week, Dooley (a person dressed in the skeleton costume), walks around campus with his security and goes into random classrooms and dismisses the classes early. Dooley's week also features two huge concerts, one that's called Dooley's ball. For Dooley's ball, think halloween. Everyone dresses up and wears a costume. Candelight walk for seniors: Before graduation, a few nights before, all seniors walk with candles through Lulwater Coke Toast: You do this during your freshman dinner and at graduation
