Emory's commencement was Monday and the Dance Program is saying farewell to six dance majors and one dance minor this year. In addition, we say good-bye to dozens of other students who have participated in the Emory Dance Program by performing with the Emory Dance Company and taking our classes. Post-graduation plans for our majors and minors include careers in dance performance, graduate study in dance, medical school, and jobs in business.
