If your current or past scholarship has connections to greater Atlanta or Georgia, Provost Rebecca Chopp invites you to participate in an on-line survey of Emory scholarship as it relates to the wider community. Your feedback will contribute to a university database of scholarly activity in the region and help colleagues at Emory and at other universities in Georgia establish collaborative networks to enrich research efforts. The survey can be completed on the Web at scholarshipsurvey.cc.emory.edu. If you prefer filling out a paper version, please
call Institutional Planning and Research at 727-5278 to request a questionnaire.
