In recent years we've heard from our ILA and IDEAS Fellowship Alumni that being part of our interdisciplinary community was among the most transformative parts of their undergraduate experience at Emory.

As we approach Emory's annual Day of Giving tomorrow, we invite our alumni and community to consider making a donation to support our student-centered initiatives.

Your donations will shape the learning of a whole new generation of ILA scholars and leader. Donations will directly support undergraduate research, community-engaged scholarship, the continued development of the ILA as an interdisciplinary intellectual community, and the core activities of the IDEAS Fellowship
