Dear Faculty and Staff Colleagues,
I enjoyed seeing so many students with friends and family over the weekend. Thanks again to all those who attended and participated in the festivities—here and at Homecoming in Atlanta. Read more about Family Weekend at Oxford here.
A reminder that this Friday, October 27, our Staff and Faculty Reception will be held at 4:00 p.m. on the Oxford Farm. You can still RSVP here. I hope to see you there!
Warmly,
Badia

How long have you been at Oxford?
My role is to foster strong and lasting connections between Oxford and the alumni community. I encourage alumni to actively participate with Oxford by contributing their time, talent, and financial support. As I like to say, I am a "friend-raiser"! As an employee, I have been at Oxford for 30 years and Emory University for 32 years.

|
What do you like best about your job and about Oxford?
I find immense joy in my job because I get to collaborate with remarkable alumni, dedicated students, and inspiring colleagues. Being able to contribute to my alma mater's mission makes it all the more special. Over the years, I've witnessed students transform into alumni who embark on incredible journeys, build careers, have families, and leave a positive impact on our world.

What is your favorite song/tv show/movie/restaurant/podcast?
At the moment, I am discovering shows on AppleTV, with 'The Loop' being a current favorite. When it comes to music, nothing beats the soulful rhythms of 70s R&B. And when hunger strikes, I'm an avid fan of both New York and Chicago style pizza.
|
|
What makes you happy or brings you joy?
My greatest joy is found in the moments spent with my husband of 28 years, my two dear young adult daughters, and the comfort of my 8-year-old Chihuahua and my beloved cats.
