Sure, summertime on the Emory Campus is a little more quiet than normal. Many of our students are working summer internships, studying abroad, or even working on humanitarian projects in third world countries. However, the Emory Annual Fund Office is bustling with activity and excitement as we gear up for another academic year. The Annual Fund staff is hard at work ensuring that we raise critical funds for student scholarships, new faculty positions, academic programs and healthcare research initiatives. We are counting on you to help us reach our $9.5 million goal by the end of our fiscal year on August 31, 2008. So between summer vacations, 4th of July picnics, and afternoons at the pool, we hope you will make time to pledge your support to Emory. Making a gift only takes a few minutes of your time but can provide unimaginable opportunities for our students, faculty, staff, and researchers. Thanks for your consideration and have a safe and enjoyable summer!
