Emory Day of Giving This Week |
The 6th Annual Emory Day of Giving kicks off Wednesday, March 22 at 6 a.m. and ends March 23 at 6 p.m. This is your chance to rally behind an area of Emory that is near and dear to your heart! Emory Day of Giving welcomes investments that provide direct support for scholarships, immediate student need funds, athletics, individual schools and programs, and so much more.
Throughout the 36-hour event, Advancement Volunteers (alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends) promote opportunities to support their favorite departments, centers, and programs. For instance, the Laney Graduate School Diversity Gift Fund provides financial resources to enhance student-centric diversity efforts at Laney by enriching the community, developing outreach partnerships, creating an inclusive campus, and recruiting scholars from diverse backgrounds; the Laney Graduate School Fund for Excellence supports strategic priorities identified by the Dean that address immediate needs of the school; and the Graduate School Fellowship Support Fund ensures that all students of our community enjoy an enriching university experience by providing stipend support. See more giving opportunities on the event site here.
Each gift accelerates the success of Emory students and creates a stronger campus experience, while also aiding in funding research that enhances the community. Fun matches and challenges—including event leaderboards—will provide opportunities for groups to compete for additional funds.
When: March 22, 6 a.m. - March 23, 6 p.m. |
