As some of you may already know, Mr. Edwards is being moved to another facility at Emory University, but he wishes to maintain his placement at the law school. The purpose of this petition is to recognize Mr. Edwards' meaningful presence at Emory Law. Our goal is to get a meeting with school officials to discuss what options, if any, are available to help Mr. Edwards remain at the law school. Mr. Edwards has worked in the Emory Law building for the last 10 years and has become a personality associated with the law school. He has made friends with students, faculty, and administration. There are countless times when he has assisted a student in need. We would be saddened by his departure. So please show your support for Mr. Edwards by signing this petition.

He's a friend of law school students and a part of the Law School. To move Mr. Edwards against his desires is to mistake a friend for a replaceable cog

Mr. Edwards understands the support law students need and especially students of color. Please keep him around so more students can benefit from his love and support.

Mr. Edwards was an integral part of my time at Emory Law and provided moral and practical support that other faculty and staff were unable to provide. Let him continue this tradition for future law students. Emory 11L

just had a great conversation with Mr. Edwards the other day that ended with him giving me some advice and well-wishes for being a new father. The man works hard. If he wishes to stay at ELS, let him. Why complicate things for everyone?

I studied in Emory law school 2013. I still remember him. He was our friend and became part of emory law school. As a foreign student, I learn from not only professors but also Edwards. Although I am in Korea, when I visit emory law school building, i want to see him at this building.

As a first year student, Mr. Edwards introduced me to upperclassman to help me with any questions I had. He encourages all of the students on campus and maintains a professional, friendly relationship with us all. Mr. Edwards is a major part of the fabric at Emory Law.

I learned more from Mr. Edwards than any of my professors.
