Candler and Oxford Gifts Boost Campaign Emory
December 18, 2009
Source: Community Partnership Update/January 2010
 Emory's Candler School of Theology and Oxford College have recently received gifts totaling more than $4.25 million from the Charles Edwin Suber Foundation.
Oxford College, which offers a liberal arts program for the first two years of the Emory baccalaureate degree, received a $3.35 million gift -- the largest cash gift in the college's history; and Candler School of Theology received a gift of $903,177. Both gifts were unrestricted to be used for the most pressing needs of the schools.
A portion of the Oxford College gift, $100,000, will be used to establish a scholarship in Mr. Suber's name. The remaining $3.25 million will be used to support Oxford's building program, including a new science facility, which would replace the current facility built in 1965, and a new library, replacing the current 1970 building. Oxford is located at Emory’s original campus, 38 miles east of Atlanta.
Candler School of Theology will assess where its gift can be best applied in the light of funding needs for the second phase of Candler's building projects, as well as student support and faculty enhancement.
These gifts are a part of Campaign Emory, a $1.6 billion fund-raising endeavor that combines private support and the University's people, places and programs to make a powerful contribution to the world. Investments through Campaign Emory fuel efforts to address fundamental challenges: improving health, gaining ground in science and technology, resolving conflict, harnessing the power of the arts and educating the heart and mind.
