Community and Belonging
Emory School of Nursing is a dynamic, welcoming community dedicated to developing nurse leaders and scholars who reflect the richness of the populations they serve. We are committed to building a culture that values individuality and treats everyone with respect and dignity. And while our rankings and stats are exceptional validators, our success is truly about our students, faculty, staff, alumni, health care partners, and the field of nursing that we’re advancing — together.
Ensuring Student Flourishing
Our students reflect the rich tapestry of backgrounds and perspectives across Atlanta and the world. Their success is at the heart of everything we do.
Our programs and resources ensure that our students flourish during and after their time at Emory. They help you be your best self — body, mind, and spirit. Our programs include accessibility accommodations, peer tutoring, and dedicated health and wellness initiatives.
Student-Faculty Collaboration
We encourage student-faculty connections and a collaborative approach to learning to expand students’ academic experiences and foster a supportive network.
Our faculty also emphasize service learning, which incorporates Emory’s tradition of community service. Emory nursing students can engage in study abroad and travel education opportunities that provide experience working with underserved populations around the world.
