IDEAS Fellowship

IDEAS has had the most wonderful year with the best fellows, faculty, and friends!💡🩵

What was YOUR favorite memory?

We hope you all have a restful summer and we can’t wait to do it all again next year ⭐️

Our IDEAS seniors are graduating and we couldn’t be prouder!! 🎓🩵

As a final tribute to these lovely fellows, here are some amazing throwbacks paired with their post grad plans - who knew these kids would grow up to accomplish SO much?

We will miss you all so dearly, but know that you will always have a home here at IDEAS! 🏡💡

📣Calling all incoming first-year students! 📣

In Fall 2026, the IDEAS Fellowship will launch a brand-new first-year themed floor in Raoul Hall. The IDEAS themed floor is the ideal place for first-year students who want to build a meaningful intellectual community and share in the exciting journey of self-discovery that college makes possible. The IDEAS floor, led by three of our amazing fellows serving as Resident and Sophomore Advisors, will transport the ethos of our interdisciplinary community into the first-year experience.

You can find more information about the IDEAS Floor in Raoul Hall on the Emory themed housing website. If you are interested to live on the IDEAS floor, submit your 2026-2027 Housing Application located on your MyHousing page and click the box that indicates you’re interested in a theme/immersion community. From there, you’ll see the IDEAS Floor supplemental application. The deadline for first-year students to apply is June 1.

More information is available at the link in our bio! Please share with the incoming first years that you know!

IDEAS Week 2026 Recap! 🔭🌌

“A Matter of Imagination” introduced us to phenomenal speakers, facilitated meaningful dialogue, and brought together wonderful connections across Emory’s campus. A massive THANK YOU to all who attended each event - we loved getting to know you and hear YOUR ideas. ⭐️

We are beyond grateful to the students, faculty, staff, and guests that made this lovely week possible - creating these spaces and conversations on campus has truly been meaningful to us all.

We hope you’ll stop and take a moment to wonder, to dream, and to imagine the spaces and people that make up your world. 🌎
