Emory University held its first day of giving on February 8th-9th. The initiative, All In A Day: 24 Hours of Change raised over $500,000 for the University.

During this fundraising initiative the Laney Graduate School rolled out the creation of the General Diversity Gift Fund to increase support for diversity initiatives at Laney.
