university profile About Emory
Our quest for positive transformation in the world occurs through the inspired work of Emory’s schools and colleges and their partners. Pictured below are the Robert W. Woodruff Library and a student common area in Raoul Hall, one of our LEED-certified residence halls.
EMORY LEADS in teaching, research, scholarship, health care, and social action among the world’s preeminent universities. It combines nine undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools with the most comprehensive health care system and sponsored research base of any university in Georgia. Emory’s scholars generate nearly $575 million in annual research funding, while maintaining an emphasis on inspired teaching. Emory’s campus in the suburban Atlanta neighborhood of Druid Hills is home to the undergraduate Emory College of Arts and Sciences, as well as undergraduate programs in business and nursing. Also here are graduate and professional programs in law, business, nursing, theology, medicine, public health, and graduate studies, as well as Emory University Hospital and associated medical clinics and institutes. In service to the community, Emory pioneers new ways to prevent and treat disease, prepares the next generation to save and improve lives, and provides the highest-quality clinical care possible. Twenty-six percent of Emory undergraduates choose to begin their education at Oxford College, Emory’s historic 1836 campus, 38 miles east of Atlanta. Oxford offers these students a small-campus, liberal arts–intensive education for the first two years of the Emory undergraduate degree. Originally planned by Beaux-Arts architect Henry Hornbostel, the Druid Hills campus features historic buildings of pink and gray Georgia marble, as well as contemporary LEED-certified residence and academic halls. Emory’s campus is also home to a public park and more than 130 acres of protected forest. Atlanta is a thriving international business hub that is home to 18 of the world’s Fortune 500 companies as well as organizations such as The Carter Center, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Cancer Society, and CARE. The city connects Emory to opportunities for wider networking, jobs, research, service, and learning. A population of more than five million makes the metro area rich with a mix of diverse cultures, shopping, sports, parks, and the arts. Distinctive among America’s top research universities for its culture of collaboration, Emory works with partners at home and abroad to address enduring challenges—resolving conflict and building peace, understanding difference, improving health, making unprecedented gains in science and technology, and harnessing the transformative power of the arts. Our faculty—passionate about their teaching and research—draw students deeply into the discovery process, encouraging them to ask difficult questions and seek creative solutions for the needs of our community and world. Emory students go on to choice graduate and professional schools and find meaningful jobs. The university has close to 8,000 undergraduates and more than 7,000 graduate and professional school students. Every state and more than 100 countries are represented in the student body. Emory is ranked 82nd by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings and among the top 25 national universities according to US News & World Report.

Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library offers rich collections in areas such as the Irish literary revival; 20th-century American, British, and Irish poetry; and African American literature, history, and culture. The Rose Library also is strong in research collections devoted to the social and cultural history of the American South, with a particular emphasis on Georgia, Atlanta, and the Civil War. The Emory Libraries present exhibits and public programs that connect their collections to the campus and community.

With more than 300 arts events each year (most of them free), students and visitors have the opportunity to discover emerging talent on the college campus, and to get up close to world-renowned musicians, writers, filmmakers, and performers. Major exhibition and presentation spaces include the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts, the Michael C. Carlos Museum, and the Mary Gray Munroe Theater in the Alumni Memorial University Center. Visit arts.emory.edu. Global Perspective Home to more than 3,800 international students and scholars, Emory sends some 50 percent of its undergraduates to study abroad as part of intensive learning experiences that include language and fieldwork in developing countries, research in hightech science labs around the world, and exposure to global business through international opportunities with some of the world’s best business schools. Students and faculty in Emory’s graduate school and professional schools in the fields of public health, nursing, medicine, theology, law, and business are also engaged in international research and teaching. Financial Profile For fiscal year 2018, Emory’s undergraduate tuition is $48,690. Undergraduate tuition, room and board, and fees are $66,950. About two-thirds of all students receive some financial aid, and Emory recently created a nationally recognized program to help lower- and middle-income families pay for college. This program, Emory Advantage, will help reduce debt incurred by students and families with incomes and assets less than $100,000 per year. Emory’s operating budget for fiscal year 2017–2018 is estimated at $5.4 billion. Emory received 574.6 million in sponsored research funding in 2016. Woodruff Health Sciences Center Emory University’s Robert W. Woodruff Health Sciences Center focuses on missions of teaching, research, health care, and public service.

emory Landmarks and Icons “The University’s Front Door” The Haygood-Hopkins Memorial Gateway was completed in 1937 and is composed of two marble pillars connected by an ornate wrought-iron arch. At the center of the span is a lantern, which has become a symbol of the university and which appears on the Laney Graduate School’s gonfalon, or ceremonial banner. As you face the gateway, the pillar on the left is dedicated to Atticus Greene Haygood, who graduated from Emory College in 1859. Known as a preacher and a philanthropist, Haygood served as president of Emory from 1875 to 1884. The opposite pillar is dedicated to Isaac Stiles Hopkins, also an 1859 graduate of Emory College. A minister as well as a teacher, Hopkins was president of Emory from 1884 to 1888. The gateway was a gift of Linton B. Robeson, a member of the Class of 1886, whose undergraduate years spanned the tenures of both Haygood and Hopkins. The Quadrangle The Quadrangle is the heart of Emory, where commencement is held each May. The rolling hills of Georgia’s piedmont reminded Emory’s original architect, Henry Hornbostel, of northern Italy, so the Quadrangle buildings were constructed in the Italian Renaissance style out of pink and gray Georgia marble. Cox Hall Named for Harvey W. Cox, the university’s longest-serving president, the Cox Hall food court is one of the primary dining spots on campus, and you often will find medical students in scrubs eating here between rounds at Emory University Hospital next door. Cox’s second floor houses an ultramodern computer lab whose plush design puts all harshly lit, utilitarian computer labs to shame. The Michael C. Carlos Museum and Carlos Hall The main museum building was designed by renowned architect Michael Graves, following his renovation of Henry Hornbostel’s 1916 law school building, now Carlos Hall. The main museum building showcases a distinguished collection of ancient art and archaeological objects from Egypt and Nubia, the Near East, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Greece and Rome, including works on paper from the Renaissance to the present. Visitors can also enjoy special exhibitions from some of the world’s great museums. Donna and Marvin Schwartz Center for Performing Arts The Schwartz Center is the heart of the arts community on Emory’s campus. Home to the renowned 800-seat Emerson Concert Hall, as well as a dance studio, theater lab, classrooms, and rehearsal spaces, the Schwartz Center is a vital home for teaching, learning, performance, and discovery. Visit arts.emory.edu.

Lullwater House and Preserve Built in the 1920s by Walter T. Candler, son of Emory benefactor and The Coca-Cola Company founder Asa G. Candler, Lullwater House was constructed in the English Tudor style. The house, which has served as the home of Emory University presidents since 1963, is the centerpiece of Lullwater, a 185-acre preserve used by Emory community members for relaxation, exercise, and informal events. The entrance to Lullwater is located on Clifton Road next to the Woodruff Residential Center. Motorized vehicles are not permitted in Lullwater. Dooley Dooley, the “Spirit of Emory,” is well-known on campus for his grand entrances with entourage at major student events each year. The identities of the students who have portrayed Dooley through the years are perhaps Emory’s best-kept secrets.

sustainability Our Commitment to a Green Future
S THE LARGEST PRIVATE EMPLOYER IN ATLANTA, Emory resembles a small town. As part of a commitment to positive transformation in the world, Emory has identified sustainability as one of the university’s top priorities.
This means providing innovative programs that enhance health and well-being for our employees and their families. It means partnering with our neighbors and local governments to develop vibrant commercial centers near campus linked by green space and pedestrian-friendly streetscapes. It also means acting as stewards for the environment. Emory leads in sustainability initiatives with: • More than three million gross square feet of LEED-certified building space. • Our Sustainable Food Initiative, with a goal by 2025 to serve 75 percent local or sustainably grown food in our dining halls and hospitals. • Almost half of our 700-acre campus designated as protected greenspace. • An entire fleet of alternatively fueled shuttles running on biodiesel made from our cafeterias’ used cooking oil. • Our extensive recycling and composting program includes Emory’s own recycling center on campus used to divert waste from landfills; the
ultimate goal is to recycle 95 percent of campus waste. • Our nationally recognized “Piedmont Project” for faculty, which encourages integration of sustainability into the curriculum across all disciplines. • An energy-use reduction of more than 25 percent per square foot since 2005 and climate action goal of 20 percent reduction by 2020, with an ultimate goal of 85 percent greenhouse gas emissions reduction per square foot by 2050. • Emory’s WaterHub, a water recycling facility resembling a large greenhouse on campus, uses natural systems combined with innovative technology to clean waste water for heating and cooling our campus buildings and toilet flushing. It is the first system of its kind to be installed in the United States. Emory’s WaterHub is capable of recycling up to 400,000 gallons per day—nearly 40 percent of Emory’s total campus water needs.

PA C K I N G for COLLEGE t ip s a n d t r ic k s Don’t put off packing for college until fall. Spend some of your free time this summer preparing and collecting everything you’ll need to be happy, comfortable, and relaxed when you move into your new dorm room. If you leave it for the last minute, you’ll hit steeper prices, limited options, and lots more stress.
Here are some ideas to help you pack E Make lists to help you stay organized. E Find free boxes at local stores, or ask friends and family. E Get storage that will fit under your bed. Find something with wheels for easy access. E Pack a trunk for multi-purpose use. You’ll have handy storage that can double as an extra table or bench seat in your room! E Rolling clothes instead of folding them takes up less space in your luggage. E Wrap breakable items in clothes or socks. E Remember to label all of your boxes as you pack.
E Keep clothes on their hangers to make unpacking fast and easy! Cover with large garbage bags to keep your clothes organized and protected. E Use shower curtain hooks on hangers for scarves, belts, and other smaller items to save space in your dorm closet. E Keep some essentials aside and pack them into a small overnight bag. You’ll have easy access in case you don’t get everything unpacked right away. E Pack your backpack with school supplies — like notebooks and pens —so you’re ready to go on your first day of class.

atlanta Beyond and around Emory ELCOME TO THE CITY OF ATLANTA . Looking for something to do? Atlanta is the cultural, technological, and financial center of the Southeast—a cosmopolitan metropolis that can offer seemingly endless ways to play and explore. Emory is convenient to all of Atlanta’s restaurants, hotels, shopping, museums, parks, and arts venues. Check out the diverse offerings of Atlanta’s neighborhoods.
Other neighborhoods include: Druid Hills Emory is located in historic Druid Hills. Its beautiful, linear parks and wooded lots designed and laid out at the turn of the century by Frederick Law Olmsted stand today near the center of Atlanta’s sprawling metropolitan area. Landscape and urban scholars have established that Druid Hills represents a major innovation in suburban design. Virginia-Highland Virginia-Highland is Atlanta’s most popular neighborhood for shopping, dining, and nightlife. Developed in the early 1900s, it consists of six distinct commercial “villages” alternating with short, walkable blocks of charming bungalow homes. The neighborhood’s name derives from the intersection of Virginia and Highland avenues. From Emory’s main entrance, turn right on North Decatur Road. At the second light, turn left on Briarcliff Road. When Briarcliff meets St. Charles, turn right. At the light, turn right on Highland Avenue. Atlantic Station Featuring dozens of restaurants, shopping, and a 16-screen movie theater, Atlantic Station is a fantastic oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Midtown Atlanta. From the main entrance, turn right on North Decatur Road, continue until it dead-ends at Piedmont Road, and turn left and continue until 14th Street. Turn right, and then right again at Peachtree Street. Turn left at 17th Street, cross over the bridge, and Atlantic Station will be on your right. Little Five Points This area is a gathering spot for the hip, the cool, the young, and the alternative. Restaurants are diverse and very casual. Live music passes for religion in L5P, as it is known. From the main entrance, turn right on North Decatur Road. At the second light, turn left on Briarcliff Road. Briarcliff will change to Moreland Avenue once you cross Ponce de Leon Avenue. L5P will begin once you pass Mansfield Ave.
Buckhead One of Atlanta’s prestigious neighborhoods, Buckhead has a reputation as Atlanta’s most affluent and elegant district. Buckhead boasts established mansions on beautiful, expansive properties, and it offers a great selection of high-end shops and restaurants. For upscale shopping, try Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza. From Emory’s main entrance, turn left on North Decatur Road. At the second light, turn left on Clifton Road, then right on Briarcliff. From Briarcliff, turn left on LaVista Road. Turn right on Cheshire Bridge Road. Note the street name will change to Lenox Road once you have passed under I-85. Continue on Lenox Road until you reach Peachtree Road. Lenox Square is on the left, and Phipps Plaza is on the right once you pass Peachtree Road. Decatur Minutes from Emory’s campus, downtown Decatur is designed around the concept of a small town’s city center and offers a wide variety of dining and retail opportunities. From the main entrance, turn left on North Decatur Road. At the fifth light, turn right on Clairmont Road, which will dead-end at the Old Courthouse. Turn left onto Ponce de Leon Avenue, go one block, and turn right onto Church Street. Druid Hills and Poncey-Highland Museums and Attractions The Carter Center of Emory University and Jimmy Carter Presidential Library Tour the Presidential Library to view mementos from the Carter White House and an eclectic array of art. Also on site is The Carter Center, founded by President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter. In partnership with Emory, the center has helped to improve the quality of life for people in more than 70 countries. It is committed to human rights and the alleviation of human suffering, and it works to resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve health across the globe.

lifelong connections

emory u n iversity page 28
The association represents 143,000 alumni living in all 50 states and more than 150 nations. Emory alumni include Pulitzer Prize winners, Rhodes Scholars, bishops of the United Methodist Church and other denominational clergy, celebrated artists and musicians, and leaders at every level of government, business, education, nonprofit, medicine, and a wide variety of other disciplines. Emory’s most important ambassadors are its alumni. Every year, alumni organize hundreds of events on campus and in more than 40 cities around the world to encourage fellow alumni to contribute not only to Emory’s community but also their own. Through participation in these programs, alumni assist Emory in recruiting the finest students. As mentors to current Emory students as well as fellow alumni, they also provide crucial support for the university’s institutional goals, and spread the word about Emory within their home communities. The association provides alumni with an outlet to create and cultivate personal and professional relationships, and to get involved in the rich global reach of the university. The association keeps the spirit of Emory alive and resonating with its alumni. As alumni engage with the association, they become inspired, involved, and invested in maintaining a lifelong connection to their alma mater.
