SHINE, together with our 12 community partners, builds and maintains a compassionate support network for refugees, immigrants, and new Americans in Metro Atlanta by hosting educational events and engaging in sustained community programs.

Through education, engagement, and partnership, SHINE both welcomes refugees, immigrants, and new Americans to their new home, and also strengthens Emory’s community of compassion and care. More than 2,500 members of the Emory community have already participated in SHINE.

On #GivingTuesday, your gift through Emory helps make the world a better place.

As part of a community committed to serving others, you care deeply about improving the world, which requires all kinds of support—volunteering time, sharing expertise, and making financial contributions.

The collective power of brilliant minds, driven by generous hearts, and strengthened by the impact of your gift, creates an unstoppable wave.

Your gift makes a difference.

Another way to help is by supporting the Fund for Excellence, which is unrestricted and allows the dean/director to focus on priorities and areas of urgent need.
