The Rollins School of Public Health is leading the world toward better health. In classrooms and across the globe, Rollins faculty, students, and alumni are designing programs to help eliminate deadly and disabling diseases and creating innovative methods of prevention through research.

Whether they are providing solutions for the more than one billion people who lack safe water, identifying procedures that will detect and prevent cancer, developing innovative HIV/AIDS prevention strategies, combating the global diabetes epidemic, or tackling bioterrorism or health care reform, Rollins faculty are at the forefront of today’s most pressing health issues.

Campaign Emory provides you with the opportunity to change the world by investing in RSPH faculty and students who are committed to promoting health and preventing disease.

An ideal location, generous philanthropic support, and thoughtful stewardship of resources have propelled the RSPH into the upper echelon of public health schools. Paired with the Grace Crum Rollins Building, the new Claudia Nance Rollins Building will be a major component of continued success. The new building—funded by a lead gift from the O. Wayne Rollins Foundation and Grace Crum Rollins—has created momentum that can be sustained only by continued investment in people and programs.

The RSPH’s goal to become one of the top five schools of public health in the world will require strategic investments in faculty, scholarships, and space. To compete with the world’s leading schools of public health, Rollins has set a goal of reaching a minimum of $100 million in endowment by 2012. This endowment will help recruit and retain outstanding faculty and double scholarship support for Rollins students from the United States and throughout the world. Through this growth, the RSPH will continue to enhance the stature of Emory University.

Gifts to endow faculty chairs will be instrumental in attracting and retaining high-caliber research and teaching faculty. Your gift may translate into field research in sub-Saharan Africa or a cancer breakthrough in the laboratory. It may be a key factor in improving access to safe water, eliminating birth defects, early detection of breast cancer, decreasing maternal deaths, minimizing health disparities, or preventing teenagers from acquiring HIV.

Public health students have compassion and commitment. They embrace challenges and seek skills to make a difference. Scholarship support will ensure that the brightest students have access to an Emory education. Your support may be the critical factor in an outstanding student’s decision to pursue a career in public health.

Continuing the momentum the RSPH is experiencing requires visionary supporters who will join the quest to protect humankind’s most valuable asset—good health. Your support of the RSPH during Campaign Emory will sustain excellence in research, innovation in education, and commitment to protecting lives worldwide.
