Flourishing at Laney

Supporting the whole graduate student experience—academically, personally, and professionally. Flourishing at Laney is a graduate student initiative grounded in the belief that academic excellence and wellbeing go hand in hand.

Explore Flourishing at Laney
Flourishing at Laney was designed to support students throughout their graduate journey. Through intentional programming and shared responsibility, Flourishing at Laney integrates three core pillars:  
​

Purpose & Wellbeing

Supporting sustainable self-care, reflection, and resilience so students can navigate graduate study with balance and intention.

​

Pathways to Success

Developing transferable skills, faculty mentoring, and career pathway exploration so graduate students are prepared for academic, industry, and public sector careers.

​

Community & Belonging

Fostering a culture of respect, inclusion, and connection that supports personal growth and strengthens academic communities.

Together, these pillars reflect Laney’s commitment to cultivating an environment where graduate students do more than succeed; they flourish.

Flourishing at Laney: Start Your Journey

Purpose & Well-Being: Provide tools and resources to identify and understand how to enhance growth

Pathways to Success: Develop skills and strategies for professional success

Community & Belonging: Establish collaborative communities to develop meaningful connections

Throughout the academic year, students will encounter programs, workshops, conversations, and experiences aligned with these pillars. As you participate, you’ll earn Flourishing stamps that recognize your engagement and growth. Each stamp brings you one step closer to completing your Flourishing at Laney Passport—a recognition of the experiences that shaped your journey at Laney.

Flourishing at Laney Passport: How it Works

Earning a stamp is simple: attend eligible Laney-sponsored experiences to receive points towards a stamp during the spring of 2026 and 2026-2027 academic year. Collect each of the 11 stamps listed below to fulfill the Flourishing at Laney Passport. Whether you participate in a wellness workshop, a skill-building session, a mentoring event, or a community gathering, you choose the opportunities that align with your goals and stage of study.

Students who attend and submit feedback for a designated number of experiences within the stamp categories below will earn a completed Flourishing at Laney Passport. Each experience contributes a “stamp” toward your passport, encouraging you to explore opportunities that strengthen your personal wellbeing, professional readiness, and sense of community. Along the way, you’ll also gain language to articulate your skills, leadership, and engagement in your CV, résumé, or professional profile.

All eligible experiences are available through the The Hub @ Emory. Every Laney student is automatically enrolled in the Laney Graduate School group on the Hub, where events are clearly tagged by stamp category for easy navigation.
