University Leadership Continues Support of Campaign

In a show of commitment to Emory University’s $1.6 billion Campaign Emory, President James Wagner and his cabinet members have provided gifts and pledges during the course of Campaign Emory to a variety of priorities across the University.

“All of us at Emory have been blessed in countless ways, so it’s appropriate for our community to have a culture of philanthropy—a habit of giving to those areas that appeal to our compassion and generosity,” Wagner says. “It is very gratifying to see University leaders demonstrate their commitment by giving back to Emory.”

Wagner and his cabinet reached their goal of $500,000, giving primarily to student aid, including Emory Advantage. Cabinet members are Provost Earl Lewis, Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration Mike Mandl, Executive Vice President for Health Affairs Fred Sanfilippo, General Counsel Kent Alexander, Dean of Campus Life John Ford, Senior Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations Susan Cruse, Secretary of the University Rosemary Magee, Vice President for Communications and Marketing Ron Sauder, and Vice President and Deputy to the President Gary Hauk.
