Emory University in Atlanta has decided to relocate its commencement ceremony to a suburb due to safety and security concerns arising from recent anti-Israel protests on campus. The ceremony will now take place at an indoor complex in Duluth, Georgia, which includes the Gas South Arena and the Gas South Convention Center.
University President Gregory L. Fenves emphasized that the decision to move the ceremony was made after careful consideration and in consultation with the Emory Police Department, security advisors, and other agencies. These entities collectively advised against holding the Commencement events on the university's campuses.
