Emory's newly released 2011 Annual Report, "The Educational Enterprise," highlights institutional progress and priorities in its 175th year within themes including the liberal arts, the academic community, scholarship and research, and health care. The report's presentation on the president's website features videos selected to emphasize major themes.

Annual financial statements, along with a financial letter that summarizes the past fiscal year, are also available online.
