As part of Emory’s commitment to the complete health of our student body, we’re creating new programs to educate students about the eight dimensions of wellness, including behavioral health, spiritual connection, emotional awareness, and physical wellness. These educational resources will strengthen academic achievement, personal growth, confidence, mental well-being, and social connection for the Emory community. 2O36 will support students’ health needs by increasing staffing and expanding clinical care, case management, crisis response, and preventative care. By training faculty and staff to identify and support students who need attention, we can create a more caring, campus-wide approach to positive mental health and emotional support.

For student-athletes, even little improvements to their bodies and minds make a huge difference. Upgrading mental health and wellness resources on campus can upgrade their athletic and academic performance: a fueling station, better nutritional offerings, and sports psychologists. 2O36 will allow athletics administrators and coaches flexibility to meet the needs of current student-athletes. Your support can help pay for travel, post-season competition, training trips, nutrition, wellness activities, and advanced training equipment.

Funding also supports student-athlete’s personal and career development through our Eagle Edge Program, which addresses NIL (Name, Image and Likeness) usage, community engagement and leadership, and academic achievement.

2036 will allow Campus Life to expand program options, especially for students from underrepresented populations, both on an ongoing basis and in times of crisis. This includes meeting academic, medical, financial, and social challenges. Your help will allow every student, regardless of background, to flourish at Emory and beyond.

Emory students deserve an experience that’s vibrant and fulfilling—one that they will cherish and want to continue as alumni. Investing in 2O36 will facilitate a range of community-building and class-year-based rites of passage, with a specific focus on campus activities. Movie nights. Concerts. Food truck festivals. Field trips to Atlanta landmarks. All these activities and more will preserve and expand Emory’s beloved traditions, leading to higher retention, graduation rates, student satisfaction, and alumni engagement.
