a unified body

I am please to report that, at its meetings on October 22, 2010, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia approved an agreement which officially restores the MCG Foundation's affiliation with the Medical College of Georgia and the University System. This resolution was announced to the public at a joint press conference on November 1 that included Dr. Azziz and members of the MCG Foundation Board and Staff. I will report more on this announcement in an upcoming letter.

  • Foundation funding supports new endowed chairs - In late 2009, we announced that the Foundation had received the funding to create four new endowed chairs at MCG.  The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has now officially approved the establishment of the Charles W. Linder, M.D. Chair in Pediatrics, the I. Clark Case, M.D. Chair in Psychotic Disorders, the Dr. William N. and Josephine R. Agostas Chair for Internal Medicine, and the William H. Brooks Chair in Obstetrics & Gynecology.
  • strong investment returns.

    In June of 2008, the U.S. economy eclipsed the recession of 1981-82 for the longest lasting recession since World War II. The impact of this recession is visible everywhere, and has affected even the strongest organizations. And while the MCG Foundation is no exception, its investment returns have performed well versus its peers and the S&P 500.  The Foundation's investment returns since March 31, 2009 are very encouraging as they showed a 29% return.
