APIDA Heritage Month
Emory is thrilled to present a new alumni network dedicated to Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) graduates!
Spearheaded by former Emory Alumni Board President Munir Meghjani 08Ox 10C, the APIDA network offers a space for alumni to connect, exchange insights, and support each other’s growth journey. The network’s first event was a gastronomic tour of Atlanta’s Buford Highway, featuring collaborations with local partners and special remarks by Provost Ravi Bellamkonda.
May is APIDA Heritage Month. This month—and every day—we are proud to honor the history, culture, and achievements of our Emory APIDA community.
