March 17, 2021 President Fenves thanks Emory community for COVID1-19 response “I write you today with pride in how each of you rallied to beat back the recent COVID-19 surge among our students. Your actions provided for our students’ most pressing needs and quickly contained what could have become a very dangerous situation.”
