EMORY UNIVERSITY MOVES GRADUATION CEREMONY TO GWINNETT COUNTY

Emory University's graduation ceremony will be held at Gas South Arena due to
safety concerns.

DECATUR, Ga. - Emory University has announced that its 2024 commencement will be
moved off campus.

According to a letter from Emory President Gregory L. Fenves, the move is due to
concerns about safety and security following multiple protests at the school's
Decatur campus last week.





"I have been firm in my commitment that Emory will celebrate our graduating
students at Commencement. While that commitment has not changed, concerns about
safety and security require us to adjust the plans," Fenves wrote in the
letter. 

Fenves stated that the decision was not made lightly and that they consulted the
school's police department, security advisors, and other agencies.



Fenves acknowledged that the news would be "deeply disappointing" for many
graduating students.

"I feel like college is really important to my family, like getting that
education," Amelia Tamez, a senior, told FOX 5 Atlanta. "So, I feel like walking
across the stage is kind of a final, you know, you did it, and you made it this
far."

The ceremony, typically held on the quadrangle, will now take place on May 13 at
the Gas South Arena in Duluth for all undergraduate bachelor's degree candidates
from Emory College of Arts & Sciences, the Goizueta Business School (BBA), the
Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing (BSN), and the School of Medicine
(Bachelor of Medical Science) and their previously ticketed guests. Graduates
from Oxford College as well as graduate and professional programs are invited to
view the ceremony via webcast.

Additionally, each school will host a diploma ceremony where each student is
individually recognized. The Emory College diploma ceremony will occur in the
same arena immediately following the University Ceremony. All other school
diploma ceremonies will take place at the Gas South Convention Center, located
next to the Arena at the Gas South District.

"We didn't have high school graduation, so I'm glad we still get to walk across
the stage," Tamez said. "It's super chaotic, but it's also a very important time
for us, too, for people to be coming together and kind of realizing what you've
been through the last four years."

On April 25, students and others calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas
war set up an encampment on the school's campus. The situation became chaotic
when the protesters refused to leave, resulting in multiple arrests during a
confrontation between police officers and protesters.

NETANYAHU RESPONDS TO HAMAS CEASEFIRE DEAL

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is giving his reaction to a ceasefire
deal brokered by several Arab states to end the conflict with Hamas.

Multiple schools across the nation have dealt with escalating protests in the
last few weeks and other schools have also made the decision to move their
commencement ceremonies.

Columbia University in New York City also announced Monday that it will not hold
its main commencement ceremony on campus following weeks of protests. 

The University of Southern California canceled its main commencement ceremony on
April 25 after police broke up an encampment and the campus was put on shutdown.
