Together We Thrive Week 2025 | Emory School of Medicine

Together We Thrive Week is a school-wide celebration of the multiple identities and experiences that enrich our community. This year’s programming focuses on advancing insights from the Diversity Engagement Survey (DES), with a special emphasis on fostering trust. Building on last year’s theme of belonging, we aim to create meaningful opportunities for open dialogue, connection, and trust-building across our community.

Join us for a dynamic lineup of events, including thought-provoking lectures, cultural activities, an inspiring art gallery, and the SOM Block Party—all designed to bring us together and strengthen our shared sense of humanity. Register by May 16 to be part of the experience!
