Political science professor issues giving challenge
Professor Larry Taulbee is supporting the Department of Political Science by matching donations through MyEmory.
With his own $5,000 gift to the Department of Political Science, Associate Professor of Political Science Larry Taulbee has issued a challenge. He will match all donations to the department up to $5,000 during each of the next four years.
"So your gift of $100 becomes a gift of $200, your gift of $1,000 becomes $2,000, and your gift of $5,000 becomes $10,000, helping twice as many students pursue their intel¬lectual ambitions," says Dan Reiter, department chair.
Taulbee's gifts to the political science department are given through MyEmory, the faculty and staff component of Campaign Emory, the University's $1.6 billion fundraising endeavor, which runs through Dec. 31, 2012.
"The department, current students and future students are all deeply grateful to Professor Taulbee," Reiter says. "His commitment is very much in line with the extraordinary devotion to undergraduate education at Emory he has dem¬onstrated for more than 40 years."
Taulbee, an expert in international relations who has taught at Emory since 1968, has been active in Emory's undergraduate advising program for many years.
