Dear Faculty and Staff Colleagues,
I’m proud to share that Oxford’s spirit of generosity was once again on full display during the 2O36 Giving Week. We received the most gifts and raised the second highest dollar amount across all Emory schools. Thanks to each of you who participated.
As we focus on Gratitude this month, I wanted to remind you of a great way to give back to our local community. The annual Emory Cares events will be held this Saturday, November 12, on the International Day of Service. There are three opportunities in the Oxford/Covington area to consider and share with your students:
-
The Nature Trail Clean-Up: 9:00–11:00 a.m. Meet outside Williams Gym
-
Care Boxes: 10:00 a.m.–Noon at the Oxford Student Center
-
Repairs of the Breach Thrift Store: 9:00 a.m.–Noon at Repairers of the Breach
