Emory Experience

The Emory Experience Shuttle is a College Council-funded program allowing Emory undergrads to explore Atlanta.

Planned and executed as weekend excursions, the shuttle is an opportunity for you and your friends to see different sites in Atlanta regardless of what transportation you have available to you. Emory Experience is commencing its fourth year as a popular Saturday event.

College Council is always open to suggestions for new locations and new ways of doing the program. If you'd like to make a recommendation or ask a question please contact Brian R. Fuller (bfulle3@emory.edu).
