UNITY MONTH 2009

Unity Month is an annual celebration of “community” at Emory and the diverse and unique individuals that create it. Every November, the Office of Multicultural Programs and Services (OMPS) coordinates a University-wide effort to create opportunities for students, staff, faculty, and administrators to become both educators and learners outside of the classroom. This year’s celebration is particularly special because OMPS is celebrating 30 years of service! Here is a list* of some of the big events during Unity Month at Emory. Most events are free and open to all students.

This November, try something new, meet someone new, and experience unity!
