What has been your most impactful class?

My most impactful class so far has been a special topics course called Empathy, Theater, and Social Change, co-taught by two professors—one from theater and the other from Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics. Every session sparked deep discussions on health, equity, and social justice, highlighting how empathy can be applied in daily life and how theater can influence the way we think and act.

What is your favorite Emory tradition?
