Quote:
"Emory is a place where people recognize you on campus for your achievements on the athletic fields AND in campus activities. The athletes on Emory's campus are a tight-knit group, who all focus on achieving the same goal--a balance of first-class athletics and first-rate academics. By participating in Emory's athletics, I feel like a more well-rounded person and I have a sense of fulfillment for my college career."."
