Chris Augostini takes office as Emory University's 22nd president

In a video message, Augostini discussed how the Emory community will work together to shape the university's future and elevate its impact across Georgia, nationally, and globally. The announcement did not detail specific policy or operational priorities beyond those broad goals.
