The Annual Report of Emory University, 2010
“In this, my seventh annual report of Emory University, coming as it does after two years of budget cutting and in the midst of continuing economic climate change, I truthfully can say that the state of Emory University is good and the outlook for it positive.”
- Strengthening Faculty Distinction
- Ensuring Highest Student Quality and Best Student Experience
- Enriching Intellectual Work through Our Physical and Cultural Environment
- Fostering Scholarly Collaboration in Confronting the Human Condition and Frontiers in Science and Technology
- Demonstrating Excellence and Leadership through Stewarding of Financial and Other Resources
As we pass the midway point of our ten-year strategic plan, we continue to be certain that, for Emory, “where courageous inquiry leads” will be to the place where Emory is a great uni-versity, not a multi-versity.
Celebrating Our Accomplishments; Focusing on Significant Change in the Future
The closing of FY2010 is significant in several important ways. We completed the budget and operational changes necessary to adjust to the reduction in investment and endowment income as a result of the 2008 global economic crisis. At the same time, we reflected on and celebrated the many accomplishments achieved by the midpoint of Emory’s ten-year strategic plan.
Annual Financial Report Letter
Despite the continued economic uncertainties of FY2010, Emory continued to focus on what it could control to improve its financial strength with both short-term and long-term strategies supporting our mission of research, teaching, health care, and social action.
