The Emory Medal recognizes the best of the best.

This award is Emory’s most prestigious alumni award and honors recipients who are leaders in their field as well as leaders in their local, national, and global communities. Simply put, Emory Medal recipients are recognized for:

• Service to Emory, the Emory Alumni Association, or a constituent alumni association
• Service to the community
• Achievement in business, the arts, the professions, government, or education

The honoree is the featured guest at a celebration attended by previous medalists, Emory Alumni Board members, and top university administrators. Recipients also are honored with a biographical video.
