Key Funding Priorities
Endowed Chairs and Professorships
Distinguished Chair (3) $1,000,000 each
Program Chair (3) $1,000,000 each
Professorship (6) $250,000 each
To attract and retain the best faculty, the college seeks funds
enabling us to increase the number of endowed professorships. As
one of the nation's leading providers of business education, the
college must recognize individual achievement in teaching, research
and service.
The college also seeks endowed "program chairs," each
of which will be held by the chairperson of a specific academic
department. Rather than supporting one outstanding professor, program
chair income is used to benefit the entire faculty of the specified
department.
Academic Programs
College Excellence/Dean's Chair
$1 Million Naming Opportunity
These funds will provide a perpetual endowment on which the dean
of the college may draw to meet needs in recruiting key faculty,
funding key programs, bringing prominent lecturers to the college
and meeting many vital needs that would otherwise go unfunded. Funds
from this endowment will serve as seed money and meet key needs
that cannot be paid with state funds.
Institute of International Business
$3 Million Naming Opportunity
Internationalizing business means internationalizing business curricula.
This center will promote the study of international business, improve
faculty understanding and promote involvement with foreign business,
conduct symposia for international enterprise and publish research
findings. The college has forged a dozen international exchange
agreements for students and faculty - and is represented on almost
every continent.
Real Estate Research Center
$2 Million Naming Opportunity
The center undertakes research in real estate and land economics,
facilitating collaborative projects between the real estate department
and the business community. The center is particularly geared toward
creating a body of research publications that will be of use to
the Atlanta real estate community.
Center for Risk Management and Insurance
Research Center
$2 Million Naming Opportunity
Founded in 1969, the Center for Risk Management and Insurance Research
has had many successes to date. The center espouses an Insurance
Research and Education Initiative to enhance decision-makers' understanding
of insurance. This will have a substantial positive impact on business
choices and public policy toward the industry.
Faculty Research and Development Funds
$2 Million
In order to attract and retain noted scholars, the college must
support junior and senior faculty with study leaves, research opportunities,
teaching awards and other faculty development incentives.
Faculty Recognition Awards
$75,000 (7 Needed)
A student's education is only as good as the quality of the faculty.
Faculty within the college annually recognize outstanding accomplishments
of their peers with awards in teaching, research and service.
Scholarships and Fellowships
Executive MBA Entrepreneurial Scholarships
$150,000 (2 Needed)
As a nationally recognized Executive MBA program, this intensive
program is designed for professionals with 10 years of career service,
with five years in management. A highlight of the program is a 10-day
international study tour. Most students depend on corporate sponsorship
to participate. An endowed scholarship will enable students from
nonprofits and smaller firms to take part in this excellent program.
Graduate Fellowships
$2,000,000 Total
At both the master's and doctoral levels, the college offers outstanding
programs. Fellowships will help attract and support high-caliber
students.
Study-Abroad Fellowships
$300,000
International commerce, once a business specialty, is now an essential
part of the business curriculum. To learn global business practices
fully, students must experience it themselves. These endowments
will help to meet relocation and other expenses related to study-abroad
programs for faculty and students.
