Emory University Staff Fest 2024 gives staff a chance to climb the walls and marvel at graffiti. More than anything, it was a big hit with the hard-working people who work in our clinics, classrooms, labs, and offices every day.

Proud of our Pedalers.
Emory Eye Center is lucky to have clinicians who commit themselves to vision health both on the job and outside the clinic. On April 27, Drs. Jeremy Jones, AJ Leong, Jacquelyn O'Banion and Susan Primo raised more than $2,500 for Grady Health Foundation by forming the TeamGradyEyes cycling team which participated in the Move for Grady fund raiser. Dr. Primo bravely battled Atlanta traffic - completing a 20-mile intown ride - while Dr. Jones rode 62 miles (seemingly all into a headwind, per his report).
Thank you! To the children and families who have survived and thrived after receiving a diagnosis of retinoblastoma! You inspired the Emory Eye Center with your smiles, your dreams, your talent, and your resilience on April 27 when the Emory Eye Center held the 25th Retinoblastoma Kids Day.

Great people work at Emory Eye Center!
One of them is our senior administrator, Zirka Smith a featured speaker at the Association of American Medical Colleges in Boston. Her talk? "Great People Work Here: A Journey Towards Staff Belonging." Using surveys to map progress, Smith found that the Department of Ophthalmology's employee engagement scores improved by more than 50 percent when staff-led initiatives were implemented.
Smith is seen here with some of her collaborators, from left: Matthew Hawkins, the associate director of Human Resources (University of North Carolina), Cliff Teague, the executive administrator for Human Resources, Emory School of Medicine, Paul Marini, associate chair for administration, Department of Orthopaedics (UNC) and Patty Saponaro UNC Dean's office.
