An Emory student relaxes during Dooley’s Week.

It’s Dooley’s Week at Emory, so be sure to take a moment to rest in one of the Dooley Chairs in front of the Woodruff Library, as well as several other locations, including the Quad, Asbury Circle, and the SPH Plaza.

These chairs are part of the annual festivities. Events have been running all week and will culminate Saturday with Dooley’s Beach Ball on McDonough Field, featuring the band The Knocks.

The theme for Dooley’s Week this year has been Dooley’s Island, with various tropical-themed events that included a luau, a comedian, concerts, and various culinary delights.

Emory’s Student Programming Council plans the event.  More info can be found at their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/EmorySPC.

Dooley, who embodies the “Spirit of Emory,” has been a fixture at Emory since 1899. You can learn more about him in the video below:
