$1.6 Billion Goal(page 2)
InvestIng Courageously
Most of us probably don’t think of philanthropy as requiring courage. And yet the phrase “courageous leadership,” in the context of a university’s aspirations, invites us to think precisely of the possibilities for thoughtful and well-considered risks when it comes to giving.
Here’s an example of what I mean. Friends of Emory recall the great gift of $105 million from Robert and George Woodruff in 1979. What is less well known is Robert’s first gift to Emory in 1937—a relatively modest but ultimately daring gift that created a cancer center in the name of his maternal grandfather, Robert Winship. In the seven decades since, the Winship Cancer Institute has grown into the leader for cancer-related research and treatment in Georgia. In 1937, Emory had been a university for less than a quarter century and could hardly have guaranteed this outcome. It took courage for Robert Woodruff to risk investing in this young enterprise.
This fall Emory publicly launched a campaign that calls for similar courageous leadership. We are asking alumni, faculty, staff, students, and friends of Emory to think about investing courageously in those places where Emory’s mission intersects with their own passions.
For some, that support might be for deep-brain stimulation to treat depression, where Emory has had unparalleled success but where nothing is guaranteed. For others, the Emory-Tibet Partnership may call on faithful investment to inform both Eastern and Western traditions in new ways. We believe our work is worth the challenges of cultural translation.For still others, the prospect of producing graduates who engage in society deeply and constructively invites investment in Emory’s innovative programs in University-community partnerships.
In being true to our commitments and our vision for Emory, we are called to “courageous philanthropy” as we work collaboratively for positive transformation in the world.
We must reward such courage with success by attracting the best minds, gathering the right tools, and creating the most effective campus for taking advantage of every opportunity. Along the way Emory needs many partners in courage to join in this exhilarating and risky enterprise.

CAMPAIGN CHRONICLE | WINTER 2008 2
Emory Announces $1.6 Billion Campaign Goal
Woodruff Foundation Funds New Emory Clinic
Since Robert Woodruff’s gift establishing the state’s first cancer clinic at Emory in 1937, the Woodruff name has been
closely associated with Emory’s advance into the front rank of American research universities. The Woodruff Foundation’s
recent $261.5 million gift will be used primarily toward constructing a new state-of-the-art Emory Clinic, which will
enable the best possible health care available anywhere. Over the past three years, the Woodruff Foundation also has
supported a doctorate of nursing practice program at Emory and renovation of the Woodruff Health Sciences Center
Administration Building. The Lettie Pate Whitehead Foundation has followed Robert Woodruff’s example, including
funding more than 230 scholarships across the University since 2005.
A Family Legacy of GivingCampaign Emory gifts of more than $51.5 million from the O.
Wayne Rollins Foundation and Grace Crum Rollins will be felt on
campus and around the world. The Rollins School of Public Health
(RSPH) is the primary recipient of the Rollins family’s philanthropy,
which is making possible construction of the new Claudia Nance
Rollins Building. Gifts also will establish the Gary and Ruth Rollins
Strategic Plan Fund in Health Sciences and provide program support
for leadership initiatives in the RSPH, program and collections
support for the Michael C. Carlos Museum, and ongoing support
to the Rollins Pavilion at Emory University Hospital.
Boosting Emory Advantage
Wendell 80C and Mary Laney Reilly 81C 00T support Emory in
significant ways. Wendell Reilly chairs the campaign for Emory
College and serves on the Emory Board of Trustees. Mary Reilly
chairs the Committee of 100 for Candler School of Theology.
The couple has invested more than $6 million in scholarships,
Emory’s Center for Humanistic Inquiry, and Candler. The Reillys’
campaign gift to Emory Advantage provides scholarship support
for undergraduates from middle- and lower-income families. It
strengthens the economic diversity of the student body and fosters a
community that better reflects the world outside the campus gates.

“Emory will offer investors the sort of sure returns and dividends that cannot be obtained in the financial markets.”Emory President Jim Wagner
In almost the same breath, Emory trustee Deriso 68C 72L revealed that the
University is already more than halfway to its goal after an advance phase that
raised more than $838 million since September 2005.
Campaign Emory is designed to strengthen Emory’s already outstanding faculty and
students, create and bolster innovative programs, and build facilities to provide the
best educational and research environment possible.
“There have been many defining moments in Emory’s history when the University
had the courage to step forward, sometimes with no certainty that the next step
would land on solid ground,” Emory President Jim Wagner told some 500 alumni
and friends of the University. “Tonight we celebrate another such moment—to keep
moving forward with the aid of Campaign Emory.”
“We know who we are and we know what we want to become. We also know
what got us to where we are today. But that will not be sufficient to get us to where
we want to go,” he said. “Through Campaign Emory we are inviting our friends,
trustees, faculty, staff, alumni, and other members of the Emory family to trust
that our goals are their noble goals and that our impressive track record speaks
powerfully to what we can accomplish together.”
Campaign Emory will help Emory put knowledge to work. When the campaign
ends in 2012, Emory will have a new clinic and educational facilities that will
encourage students to learn, faculty to teach, scientists to research, and health care
professionals to set new standards for health and healing.
“What drives us is the urgency to share what we know, to care for communities at
home and abroad, to connect with others and with our environment, to discover
new solutions to difficult problems, and to give something back to a world that has
given us so much,” Wagner said. “Emory seeks investment partners who believe in
our vision and want to leave a powerful legacy, people who care about the world
and know that they can make a profound difference by supporting Emory.”
Campaign priorities for every school, unit, and program of the University support
the Emory strategic plan and its themes: strengthening faculty distinction, preparing
engaged students, creating community and engaging society, confronting the
human condition, and exploring new frontiers in science and technology. “Big
words, big plans that will have a very real impact on our students and the world,”
said Johnson 65C.
By providing the means for Emory’s faculty, students, and programs to thrive,
the campaign is expected to transform every school and unit of the University. In
addition to fund-raising, Campaign Emory’s challenge is to increase awareness of
the education, research, and action already under way. Although Emory is now
counted among the top tier of American higher education institutions and is highly
regarded in the South and Northeast, the University still has a long way to go in
becoming as well-known around the country as many of its peers.
During the evening, Emory Alumni Board President Crystal Edmonson 95C
highlighted stories of gifts that have helped bring Emory to its current standing
and have launched Campaign Emory in spectacular fashion. (See stories on
page 1.) Donors were recognized for the impact of their support—from funding
groundbreaking cancer research and scholarships to legal services for Hurricane
Katrina victims.
“This is a critical time in Emory’s history for your stories to begin,” Wagner
said. “Not critical in the sense that we can’t pay our bills. You have only to look
around Emory—at the construction under way, the recruitments, our new library
collections—to know that we are fortunate, indeed blessed, to have had the private
support that has made Emory what it is today.”
The efforts of many Emory faculty, staff, and alumni leaders have gone into the
strategic plan driving the campaign. “Emory is focusing on how we can leverage
the things we are good at,” said Edmonson.
Campaign Emory’s $1.6 billion goal is daring, Wagner said, but the University’s
underlying goals are even more grand—the education of leaders who will face
complex challenges, the work of researchers who will fight disease and improve
health around the world, and the building of intellectual capital by faculty who
will create new knowledge.

During a September gala filled with recurring themes of courage, vision, and transformation,
Volunteer Chair Sonny Deriso and Board of Trustees Chair Ben Johnson announced the most
ambitious fund-raising effort in the University’s history—$1.6 billion over the next four years.

Giving Supports University Programs and People
SINCE THE ADVANCE PHASE BEGAN IN 2005, CAMPAIGN DONORS HAVE GIVEN MORE THAN $180 MILLION
for business education, law, athletics, campus life, scholarships, the humanities, arts and sciences, the libraries, Emory Graduate
School, and the Carlos Museum. In honor of President Emeritus James T. Laney, who was also a U.S. ambassador to South Korea,
Emory emeritus trustee Brad Currey has created a scholarship program that gives preference to Korean students with financial
need. Alumna Deborah Jackson 85C is supporting Emory athletics with an endowed gift to honor retired professor, coach, and
athletics director Clyde “Doc” Partin Sr. Rob 72L and Mary Henrikson have endowed a scholarship for Emory Law. Business
leader Richard Kessler has made a gift for phase II of Candler School of Theology’s building project and to support the Richard C.
Kessler Reformation Collection in Pitts Theology Library.
The Goizueta Foundation and longtime Emory friend Olga C. Goizueta are supporting Goizueta Business School, which is named
for her late husband, Roberto Goizueta, former Coca-Cola chairman and CEO. The Coca-Cola Foundation has committed
$3 million to support business and nursing students qualifying for Emory Advantage—an undergraduate financial aid program
for lower- and middle-income students—and to fund sustainability projects in Atlanta. The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has
given nearly $2.5 million to fund programs in Emory College, Emory Graduate School, Emory Libraries, the Carlos Museum,
and Emory’s James Weldon Johnson Institute. The Tull Charitable Foundation continues its generous support of the J. Pollard
Turman Alumni Service Award and has given $1 million to endow a finance professorship in Goizueta Business School honoring
the foundation’s former board chairman John McIntyre 51B.
s C h o o l s a n d u n I t s

In the heart of Emory’s campus will stand the University’s religion corridor, including Candler School of Theology’s classrooms and faculty offices, the Wesley Teaching Chapel, a new home for the Pitts Theology Library, and Cannon Chapel.
Gift Planning Offers Tax Benefits and Income Flexibility for Donors
Health Sciences Halfway to Fund-raising Goal
Campaign Emory offers creative giving strategies that benefit
donors financially while accomplishing their philanthropic goals.
These planned gifts help reduce taxes and can provide donors
with income for life.
Ted Runyon and his wife, Cindy 70C 79G, are using charitable
gift annuities to fund a visiting scholarship at Candler School of
Theology. He is a Candler emeritus professor of theology, and she
is retired from a 24-year career at Emory’s Pitts Theology Library.
Gift annuities are simple to establish, provide the Runyons a fixed
income for life, and offer attractive rates of return.
Staffed by experts in charitable giving and financial strategies,
Emory’s Office of Gift Planning helps donors find the best way
to enhance their personal well-being while following their hearts
through philanthropy. For details, call 404.727.8875 or visit
www.campaign.emory.edu/ways-to-give and click on Gift Planning.
Private investments are already making a difference in people’s
lives, as the Woodruff Health Sciences Center passes the halfway
mark to its record-setting fund-raising goal of $1.07 billion.
Since 2005, the School of Medicine has received generous support
from donors such as J. Rex Fuqua, president and CEO of Fuqua
Capital Corp., and Mary and John F. Brock III, chairman and
CEO of Coca-Cola Enterprises, who have invested in innovative
efforts to treat depression. With the Georgia Research Alliance
and the Georgia Cancer Coalition, the Brocks also support
cancer nanotechnology research, a new approach to treating
cancer. A $12 million Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation gift
is advancing promising islet cell research to treat diabetes.
The Rollins School of Public Health received $50 million from
the O. Wayne Rollins Foundation and Grace Crum Rollins for a
new building (see page 1). Trial lawyer Richard Hubert 60L gave
$10 million to name the Hubert Department of Global Health,
endow a chair, and increase scholarship support. Gifts from
faculty member Gene Gangarosa and his wife, Rose, are helping
bring together the best Emory minds to find solutions for more
than 1 billion people who lack safe water.
A priority of the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing is
alleviating the nursing shortage. The Helene Fuld Health Trust
has created the Fuld Fellowship Endowment, which allows
students with degrees in other fields to train for a nursing career
in service to vulnerable populations.
The Woodruff Foundation is supporting a new Emory Clinic
(see page 2). Judy Starkey, founder of Chamberlin Edmonds, has
helped create an Emory Hospitals program in palliative care for
patients with chronic and terminal illnesses.
Informed supporters such as dermatologist Bill Dobes 65C 69M
70MR help propel discovery at Yerkes National Primate Research
Center. He chairs the Yerkes campaign and supports research to
treat, prevent, and cure devastating diseases.
SONNY DERISO, CAMPAIGN EMORY CHAIRGifts to Campaign Emory have boosted research efforts.
Gifts will build a new home for the Manuscript, Archives and Rare Book Library. The total goal for Emory’s non-health-sciences areas is $530 milion.

Make a dIfferenCe
When Campaign Emory was launched publicly, we accelerated the engine that is driving Emory to become the University it is destined to become. Through Campaign Emory, the University seeks to fuel the priorities mapped out in Emory’s strategic plan.
over the past three years, Emory’s leaders have evaluated our strengths, defined our aspirations, and focused our programs to achieve those goals.
By strengthening Emory’s assets, we will retain and recruit renowned faculty who will create new knowledge and teach the next generation of leaders. By providing the means for more outstanding students to attend Emory, we seek to equip the best and brightest with the tools they need to be those future leaders.
By supporting sustainable practices, celebrating the arts, and embracing true diversity in race, gender, religion, and thought, we are opening the eyes and minds of our students to a global perspective.
By improving the lives and health of those in need, we strengthen ourselves as well. By exploring new frontiers in science and technology, we are unraveling the mysteries of human health and human nature.
Campaign Emory will accelerate our momentum toward those goals, partnering with you through your philanthropy. A gift to Emory is an investment in the future, not charity.
According to Webster’s dictionary, charity is aid given to those in need, while philanthropy is an active effort to promote human welfare. By no means is Emory disadvantaged, but we are actively engaged in improving the human condition.
We understand that you want to make a difference with your gift. Creating an endowment to fund promising research, providing a scholarship to a deserving student, or establishing a faculty chair are some of the ways you can help Emory make that difference.
Thank you for joining us in our ambitious effort to ensure that Emory University continues to be a place where questions are answered, solutions are found, and students are enlightened.

Breathing New Life into Lung Disease Research
At age 12 Andrew McKelvey delivered eggs door to door for a dime-a-dozen profit and
was hooked on business. Eventually he founded online job-search giant Monster.com.
His great success, he said, carried a great obligation.
In 1967 McKelvey was diagnosed with sarcoidosis, a debilitating disease that scars the
lungs and reduces their capacity. He credited Emory’s Clinton Lawrence for improving
the quality of his life through treatment based on the pulmonologist’s research into
inflammatory lung diseases.
Over the past 15 years, the late businessman designated more than $25 million to
support the work of the McKelvey Center for Lung Transplantation and Pulmonary
Vascular Diseases at Emory. With his transformational gifts, Emory recruited a dozen
star faculty, built new laboratories that enabled groundbreaking research, advanced
treatment of patients with lung disease, and more than tripled the number of lifesaving
lung transplants. Seed money allowed young researchers to pursue new approaches to
lung disease. Emory now is involved in multicenter clinical trials of new lung transplant
drugs and pulmonary hypertension treatment.
“His support has been just remarkable for its impact,” says Lawrence, McKelvey’s
friend and medical adviser for more than 25 years. “These resources have been a real
catalyst and helped us expand dramatically.”
Today in Georgia’s first and only lung transplant program, Emory specialists are
learning to better predict, treat, and prevent all forms of lung disease. The center’s
progress has inspired others to step forward and breathe new life into lung disease
research, which has potential to improve the lives of some 35 million Americans. For
more information, call 404.727.8326.
Monster.com founder Andrew McKelvey gave more than $25 million to Emory. Read more online: www.campaign.emory.edu/medicine. Click on Breathing New Life into Lung Disease Research.
Campaign Emory, a $1.6 fund-raising endeavor, combines
private support and the University’s people, places, and programs
to make a powerful contribution to the world community. The
campaign will transform every school and unit of the University.
Investments in the campaign fuel efforts to address fundamental
challenges: improving health, gaining ground in science and
technology, resolving conflict, harnessing the power of the arts,
and educating the heart and mind. Campaign Emory also builds
awareness of Emory’s excellence in education, research, and
action. Whether you give annually, include Emory in your estate
plans, or create an endowment, your gift has great impact.
