First-Year Graduate Student, Jung Jae Kim, Featured in Emory's Stories of Resilience and Resolve
The story of first-year graduate student, Jung Jae Kim, was recently included in Emory's Stories of Resilience and Resolve as part of Emory's retrospective of the year 2020.
In a message to the Emory community, Emory President Gregory L. Fenves writes, “2020 has been one of the most challenging and unpredictable years in our recent history. The global pandemic has affected every aspect of our lives and society. We have dealt with unimaginable loss. We have faced economic uncertainty and struggle. We have had to weather the storm, but we have also found hope along the way—in individual examples of bravery, leadership and empathy from our community members; in the groundbreaking, lifesaving vaccine research pioneered by Emory Healthcare; in the actions of Emory students, faculty, staff and alumni who came together to fight for racial justice; in small moments of joy; in quiet moments of courage.” Read more
The Economics Department is delighted to welcome Jung Jae to Atlanta for Spring 2021 to continue his studies in the PhD program.
