47. Mission Statement
O The Electronic Data Center supports the use
of geospatial and quantitative data for both
faculty and students and in both research and
teaching. It furthers the academic mission of
scholarly inquiry by assisting users with
locating relevant data and with assembling
those data into usable forms, thus allowing
users to test and evaluation arguments and
hypotheses and to move from the realm of the
abstract and theoretical to the realm of the
empirical. Reflecting the non-disciplinary
nature of data, the Center assists researchers
from departments and schools throughout the
university.

O ACE! (not to be confused with

O Academics & Culture @ Emory
O Incoming First Year undergraduates can take

Students.
O 4-week program
O prepare them for a successful adjustment to the
academic, social and cultural life at Emory and
in Atlanta before the fall semester begins.
The Pre-Major Advising Connections at Emory Program (PACE) is a multifaceted academic advising support system which serves first-year students until they declare a major before the end of their second year. Prior to their arrival, incoming students are matched with a faculty adviser and peer leaders who help them acclimate to college life, find their passions and plan for academic and career success. The Office for Undergraduate Education (OUE) and Campus life supplement this advising team and provide educational panels, programs and sessions throughout the first year. These informational meetings serve to further connect students to campus resources and help them identify avenues for academic and personal growth. First-year students enroll in PACE 101 and receive one semester hour of academic credit toward their Emory College degree for successfully completing the program. The grading basis for the course is satisfactory/unsatisfactory.
