Emory's Pres. Addresses DeKalb Chamber

How well do you really know your DeKalb County neighbor?
Emory President James Wagner asked that question to a sellout crowd of large and small business representatives at last month’s DeKalb Chamber of Commerce meeting.
President Wagner described the University as bringing the best and brightest to this region, where many stay after graduation. “As part of the ‘brain gain’ for metro Atlanta, 22 percent of our undergraduate students are from Georgia, but after graduation, over half of Emory’s graduates remain and work in the region. Nearly a third of our overall 100,000 alumni live in metro Atlanta,” he said.
With 22,000 employees and over 12,000 students, Emory has a significant direct and indirect economic impact on the region, which the Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education estimates at over $4 billion annually. To see the entire presentation, visit www.cliftoncommunitypartnership.org.
