She was honored during the Presidential Invited Address, as well as at onsite receptions hosted by Emory and UNC. During the welcome at the Diversity Workshop, ENAR President Renee' Moore celebrated the life of Dionne and shared Dionne's impact on her and so many others. You can view Renee’s welcome message here. Past and current participants of the Diversity Workshop also submitted photos, quotes, and memories of Dionne, which were compiled by Felicia Simpson and Jesse Chittams into the slideshow below.

The Journey
By Dionne Price
I am that woman and that woman is me,
Acquiring knowledge, I’ve learned is the key,
I stand on the foundation planted long ago,
I’m rooted in numbers and love how they flow
Now is the present and data abounds,
Quantitative inclinations will need to astound,
And as we look to tomorrow and days to come,
May we solve global challenges, and still have some fun.
I am that woman and that woman is me
