Emory student-athletes strive for excellence in competition, the classroom, and the community. Earning 34 NCAA Division III National Championships, 231 UAA Conference Championships, and numerous strong finishes across varsity sports, they embody the balance of discipline and teamwork that defines the Emory Eagles.
This year, Emory Athletics was crowned the Division III Learfield Directors’ Cup champion, a first in university history and a testament to the strength and dedication of our student-athletes, coaches, and staff. Emory is one of only 10 institutions nationwide to rank at the top of both the Directors’ Cup standings from the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics, and the U.S. News & World Report rankings of best national universities. This rare distinction reflects Emory’s unwavering commitment to developing student-athletes who shine academically while competing at the highest level.
