Faculty are the Heart of Emory University
Investing in Emory faculty and their research, scholarship, and publications will elevate students’ educational experiences, reinforcing Emory as a destination for future students and faculty.
Everything Emory accomplishes—from world-altering research and artistic expression to the outstanding liberal arts education that has long defined our university—is powered by our professors.
Making a gift to any of the funds listed below will not count in the Faculty Eminence and Research Excellence tally above because it will count in the total for its associated program area (i.e. Center for Ethics, Emory College, Rollins School of Public Health, etc.).
For Emory Day of Giving, we are highlighting several giving opportunities to support faculty eminence.
- The Emory Center for Ethics provides outstanding programs and community outreach, including internships in ethics and servant leadership internships and our Health, Science, and Ethics Program.
- The Emory College of Arts and Sciences General Faculty Support Fund strengthens faculty retention packages, boosts research, and provides mentoring for faculty members.
- Emory Global Health Institute Faculty Seed Grants support Emory faculty members who develop and implement high-quality research that results in new academic knowledge and innovative solutions to global health challenges.
- Women of Emory Impact Circle Fund supports projects initiated by Emory students, staff, and faculty members to transform the lives of women and girls at Emory and beyond.
