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

*[Chris Augostini](https://app.clinicalterminal.com/person/104747710) has begun serving as [Emory University](https://app.clinicalterminal.com/hospital/673690)'s 22nd president, according to an announcement from the university. His start date was Sept. 1, 2026.*

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.

Emory University is a major research institution in Atlanta with a significant academic medical enterprise. The transition in leadership comes as universities nationwide navigate shifts in healthcare education and research funding.
