Affinity Groups & Celebrations

In our commitment to an inclusive environment at Emory, it is our goal to build a culture that recognizes the contributions of all individuals – including those who come from underrepresented groups. We are doing this in two ways: affinity month celebrations and affinity month groups.

Affinity Month Celebrations

While we will recognize the work of our diverse community year-round, we are organizing our initial efforts through focused affinity month celebrations to promote sharing, awareness and learning.

We are seeking self-nominations and/or peer nominations of faculty and staff members who are willing to share their stories. Nominations will be accepted on a rolling basis.



Affinity Groups

Affinity groups offer safe spaces for faculty, staff and learners who share an identity, such as a common race or heritage, to discuss mutual concerns and help each other navigate the medical school and clinical settings. The following groups are available either in the School of Medicine specifically or at Emory University.
