A brief description of the policies and/or programs:

Emory’s Travel and Expense Policy states “In an effort to keep travel expenditures low as well as reduce air emissions, before committing to a trip, use your best judgment as to whether or not the trip is necessary. Evaluate if the trip could be replaced by teleconferencing, webinars or video conferencing instead. If applicable, evaluate if it is necessary for multiple staff and faculty members to attend or just one member instead.”
