Staff and Leadership

  • Gather Woodruff Scholars and Fellows across the nine schools and divisions for networking and collaboration opportunities
  • Foster a community across past and current Woodruff Scholars and Fellows in the Atlanta area and beyond
  • Catalyze and amplify impact opportunities within the Woodruff Scholars and Fellows community and beyond by fostering engagement with thought leaders, culture shifters, and changemakers
  • Communicate the achievements of Woodruff Scholars and Fellows, and to steward the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation
  • Provide strategic focus and decision making for long-term plans in order to advance the objectives listed above
