Responses among underrepresented ethnic minorities, women and people aged 50 and older received greater weight in the ranking.

  • Presidential Selection Prospectus
    PRESIDENTIAL SELECTION PROSPECTUS March 2020 1 : Emory University Presidential Selection Prospectus : February 2020 An invitation to apply for the position of: PRESIDENT, EMORY UNIVERSITY On the strength of its accomplishments and values, Emory University is a prime national contender for talent, resources, and sponsored research on an arc that promises substantial—even historic—gains during the term of the next president. In every dimension, Emory seeks a president equal to its bright future. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Emory harnesses imagination and discovery to address 21st-century challenges, leading research and innovation in the health sciences, natural and social sciences, humanities, and arts. Faculty lead our inquiry driven, ethically engaged, and diverse intellectual community. Today, Emory students are more academically qualified as well as more ethnically, economically, and internationally diverse than ever before. During the past five years, Emory’s research funding has increased more than 20 percent and, in fiscal year 2019, Emory experts received $689.1 million in total research funding awards. Our National Insti- tutes of Health (NIH) funding testifies to this strength, with the university ranked 19th in the nation and two of its schools in the top ten. As the state’s most comprehensive provider of clinical services, Emory Healthcare serves all basic health care needs while also being the place patients turn to for treatment of the most challenging, rare, and complex conditions. The university is currently in the silent phase of a highly ambitious capital campaign, consistent in size with other major universities in the country and on track to be very successful. Emory has an endowment and strategic investment funds that have enabled a striking upward trajectory that sets a promising path for the future.
