Virginia Spinks
Majors: Anthropology and Religion/ Dance and Movement Studies

"Immediately after graduation, I will be traveling to Sarajevo, Bosnia to study human rights as a 2017 Humanity in Action European Fellow. I will then travel to Sorrento, Italy to dance with the Staibdance Summer Intensive and after that return to my home town of Atlanta, Georgia to pursue dance professionally and to get involved with the non-profit community, as I develop my action project as a culmination of what I have learned in Sarajevo. I hope that this project will carry me into deep, and meaningful work in the Atlanta community."

Will Warren

"I started my collegiate career at Oxford College. After two-years of pre-med there, my liberal arts career exploded into newfound passions in what are now my major and minor, respectively: religious studies and dance and movement studies. During my time on the Atlanta campus, I have been most heavily involved the a cappella group, No Strings Attached (Emory’s premier, all-male a cappella group), Emory’s Student Programming Council, as well as with new student orientation as an orientation leader and subsequently as an orientation captain. This summer, I plan to travel through South America and will return to school to complete my pre-med requirements in hopes of going to pharmacy school."
