A Google Group has been created for past, current, and future Emory rowers as well as friends of Emory Crew. Hopefully this group will allow people to stay in touch, coordinate events, and share news.

The group, named Emory Crew, can be found at http://groups.google.com/group/emorycrew?hl=en. Please spread the word about it.

Emory Women finished 8th out of 32 in the Collegiate Women’s 4+, and the Men finished 10th out of 31 in the Collegiate Men’s 4+. This marks one of the strongest Emory performances at a national-level event.

We sent out the first newsletter earlier this Spring to friends, family, and alums of Emory Crew. Here it is in electronic format. If you would like to receive future mailings from us, please email us at eucrew@gmail.com with your address, and optionally, how you know us! Our upcoming newsletter should be ready soon.
