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.
