COMPLETED! - Emory Day of Giving 2022

The Center for Ethics is committed to providing outstanding ethics programming, community outreach. The Center touches more community organizations for its size than any other unit at Emory. Our faculty provide expert guidance at the local, national, and international levels. Their recent achievements include guiding Emory’s COVID triage policies and serving as the ethics advisor to the CDC’s Advisory Council for Immunization Practices. We foster public discussion and experiential learning through community engagement activities and outreach. Your gift to the Friends of the Center for Ethics supports the continuation and expansion of our signature programs, both at Emory and greater Atlanta.

• Ethics and Servant Leadership (EASL): The Ethics and Servant Leader Summer Internship program provides students with an intensive and structured hands-on experience for three months each summer. Our program has grown, both in reputation and number of applicants, and we face the challenge of limited program acceptance for qualified and deserving students. We depend on the power of gifts from people like you to ensure our students can access life-changing experiences - regardless of their financial resources - and create positive change in the world.
• Health, Science, and Ethics Program: As we’ve seen throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the study of social and ethical challenges facing medicine and life sciences is continually evolving. We have a long-term and broad impact in exploring ethical issues in science, healthcare systems, and clinical care. From teaching in the Emory School of Medicine to scholarship and research in clinical ethics, public health ethics, health policy and neuroethics,  the health sciences are a key commitment of the Center. Your support will fund scholarships, allow conference attendance for students, and keep our graduates leading the way.
• Advancing Humanity with Ethical AI: The remarkable advances in artificial intelligence (AI) promise unprecedented advantages—in commerce, medicine, and our everyday lives. However, the development of AI also is fraught with challenges. The Center for Ethics is on the frontline, ensuring that we pursue AI in ways that promote human flourishing, manages ambiguity, and employs ethical decision-making and eliminates bias.
• Ethics and the Arts: The Ethics & the Arts Program at Emory encourages ethical discourse and debate through and about the arts, and it partners with signature arts organizations to demonstrate the way art challenges our perspectives.
