Share Your Story. Shape Our Community.

At Lives of Emory, we believe every voice enriches our collective experience. This is your space to share your unique "day in the life" and personal narratives, fostering empathy and connection across the Emory community. We invite you to share your journey.

Your life, your voice.

What kind of stories are we excited to share? We want to hear about your "day in the life"—the small moments, the big challenges, the quiet reflections, and the loud celebrations. Whether it's mental health, cultural identity, academic pressure, community, love, grief, faith, or purpose, your personal narrative helps humanize the Emory experience. This page welcomes everyone: students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members. Your story matters.

The heart of emory.

When you share your story, you contribute to a richer tapestry of understanding and connection within the Emory community. Inspired by Humans of New York, Lives of Emory seeks to highlight individual voices that are often unheard or overlooked. By sharing moments of vulnerability, joy, struggle, or ambition, you help foster empathy and reflection, bringing us all closer. Let your experience inspire others.

Your story, our process.

Ready to share your unique experience? Once you submit your story idea or contact information, here’s what you can expect: your submission will be put into review by the Lives of Emory team. We'll then reach out to discuss your narrative further, potentially arranging a short interview or written reflection, often paired with a portrait-style photograph (with your consent). We're committed to making this a clear and engaging process for you.
