Outreach and Recruitment

Each year, the Laney Graduate School (LGS) participates in national conferences and graduate and recruitment fairs to connect with prospective scholars interested in graduate studies at Emory. We travel across the country to build meaningful relationships with scholars as well as with organizations and institutions centered on advancing graduate education.  

Over the last decade, LGS-EDGE has engaged with prospective scholars and their faculty at hundreds of events. Many members of our current LGS student body were met at events such as local and national McNair Conferences, regional Mellon Mays Conferences, and discipline-specific conferences geared toward early scholars, including ABRCMS, AISES, GEM, HACU, SACNAS, oSTEM, NCUR, and Students Veterans of America.
