CLASS: 1) Character; 2) Leadership; 3) Advocacy for students who have been traditionally underrepresented in the academy; 4) Scholarship; and 5) Service. In the spirit of Dr. Bouchet’s commitment to these ideals, inductees into the

Join Emory’s Weekly Compassion Meditation Group
Fifteen years ago, the Compassion Meditation Group began in relation to a study by the Emory Psychiatry Department in partnership with the Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Training. The practices we use reflect a secular approach helping participants develop skills of attention and compassion for self and others. The Compassion Meditation Group is open to anyone at Emory though participants usually come from graduate programs, faculty, or administration. Several adults from the surrounding community also attend. Supported by the Emory Spiritual and Religious Life Office, our intention is to learn about meditation practices and apply them to our daily lives. We welcome beginners as well as longer-time practitioner. All find community in this practice group.

Graduate Students Encouraged to Register for ORCID iD
Laney Graduate School encourages all graduate students to register for a free
ORCID iD
,
a unique identifier that ensures you are always correctly associated and connected with your academic work. An ORCID iD helps keep your research record accurate if you have a common name, if you decide to change your name, or if you publish under different versions of your name. ORCID iDs are now required by numerous publishers and granting agencies such as
the NIH
,
so it benefits you to register for an ORCID iD and use it in the earliest stages of your academic/publishing career.
Emory Libraries have a comprehensive new guide
that explains what ORCID is and why you should trust it. You can get an ORCID iD by following this very simple and quick process:
-
Navigate to ORCID’s registration site
:
Use your Emory email to register. You can change your email later when you have a new affiliation but note that you will
always use this same ORCID iD – it stays with you throughout your career.
Very important! When registering, make sure to click on "
EVERYONE" in the "
Visibility Settings" portion of the form. Doing so will make your research more visible and discoverable. Note: your email address(es) are always kept private.
-
Add your scholarly works
:
Once you’ve created your ORCID iD, you can add works to your record, set up automatic updates, or delegate management of your account to someone else.
-
Use your ORCID iD
:
Include your ORCID iD on your webpage, when you submit publications, on grant applications, and in other research workflows to ensure that you get credit for your work.
Please contact
Jody Bailey
or
Emory Libraries Scholarly Communications Office
if you have any questions.
