Emory University celebrates 175 years

Emory University will hold a convocation ceremony Wednesday as part of a series of activities to mark the institution's 175th anniversary. The event will honor 175 "Emory History Makers" who helped improve the local and global community through a dedication to education, research and outreach. While many of the honorees are alumni, that was not a requirement. Honorees include: former Georgia Sen. Max Cleland, United Negro College Fund CEO Michael Lomax and former Sears CEO Emory Williams, who graduated from the college in 1932.
