James W. Wagner, PhD, an award-winning teacher and scientist, became the 19th president of Emory University on September 1, 2003. Born and reared in Silver Spring, Maryland, Dr. Wagner earned his bachelor"s degree in electrical engineering in 1975 from the University of Delaware and a master's degree in clinical engineering in 1978 from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In 1984, he completed his PhD degree in materials science and engineering from Johns Hopkins. Following a distinguished tenure on the faculty of Johns Hopkins, Dr. Wagner served as dean, provost, and interim president of case Western Reserve University.
Dr. Wagner has authored more than 115 publications and has served as editor or editorial board member for
several serial publications. His research interests and activities have stemmed in part from his early
employment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, where he developed quality assurance methods and performed failure analyses on medical devices. At Johns Hopkins his research focused on optical and microwave methods for sensing strains and displacements in materials and structures. In 2007, Dr. Wagner received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering and the Johns Hopkins Alumni Association. In the spring of 2009, he was elected as a Fellow in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Wagner was honored to receive the President's Award of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators for Region III in the summer of 2011. In 2012, Dr. Wagner was awarded an honorary doctor of engineering degree from the University of Notre Dame. He was elected in 2012 as a Charter Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors.
Throughout his administrative career, Dr. Wagner has worked closely with faculty, students, aiumni, and staff to enhance the undergraduate educational experience, grow research, and foster more effective partnership between the academy and local institutions, including government and industry. Out of a firm devotion to the ancient university mission of liberal education -- which he defines as mastering a discipline and developing a thirst for new knowledge -- Dr. Wagner has been able to forge collaborations among a diverse array of schools and programs, ranging from the arts and sciences to the professional schools. He also had gained significant experience in raising funds from private philanthropic sources. All of these notes resonated with the priorities of the institution in 2003.
As one of his first steps, President Wagner set in motion a campus-wide initiative to develop a clear vision statement intended to serve as the polestar for Emory's development over the next decade. Having achieved widespread and deep participation in this effort, he searched for and appointed a new provost and a new senior vice president for development and University relations to complete his leadership team. With those persons in place, the University launched a year-long strategic-planning process to serve as the basis for a comprehensive financial campaign.
Along the way, the president has won high marks for rolling up his sleeves and engaging very deeply with faculty, staff, and students -- occasionally rehearsing with student a capella groups, regularly meeting with faculty leadership and departments on matters of intense controversy -- seeking to involve the community In full and mutually accountable collaboration.
Reviving an Emory tradition, President Wagner has delivered the address at each of the baccalaureate services for graduating College seniors since his arrival at Emory. An elder in the Presbyterian church (in which his wife, Debbie, is a seasoned professional Christian educator), he finds particularly attractive Emory's blend of rigorous intellectual inquiry and ethical engagement.
Currently Dr. Wagner serves on the boards of The Carter Center, the Georgia Research Alliance, SunTrust Banks, and the Metro Atianta Chamber of Commerce. In 2009, he was honored to be appointed by U.S. President Barack Obama to serve as Vice-Chair of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues.
The Wagners have two grown daughters, Kimberly and Christine. Dr. Wagner's avocational interests include restoring antique cars and astrophotography.

Our Staff
Rev. Dr. P. Alice Rogers, Senior Pastor
Rev. Dr. P. Alice Rogers comes to Glenn Memorial following eleven years on faculty at The Candler School of Theology of Emory University where she served as Associate Professor in the Practice of Practical Theology and Director of the Contextual Education and Teaching Parish Programs. Her commitment to both the church and the academy led her to explore more deeply into the part contextual education plays in theological formation and enabled her to work closely with students preparing for ministry. Her publications include: Equipping the Saints: Best Practices in Contextual Theological Education (Pilgrim Press, 2010) and Contextualizing Theological Education (Pilgrim Press, 2008).
Prior to her appointment at Candler, Alice served congregations in the North Georgia Conference for seventeen years including East Point First UMC, Comer UMC, Jackson UMC and Aldersgate UMC. Active in the North Georgia Conference, Alice has been elected to the last four Jurisdictional and General Conferences of the United Methodist Church. Alice was reared in Conyers, Georgia where her family attended Conyers First UMC and are still "tenters" at Salem Campmeeting in Newton County, Georgia. Both of these faith communities were critical in Alice's formation for ordained ministry. Alice received her Bachelor of Arts from Converse College in 1983, with honors in English and Religion, her Master of Divinity from Duke University in 1986 and her Doctor of Ministry from Emory University in 1998 where she graduated Magna Cum Laude.
Her hobbies include hiking, fly fishing, and cycling.

Even said to Josh, in front of Sara your Communications Director, "Why doesn't Bob refer to himself as Rev. Dr. Gary? He could if he wanted to? Not sure I want to trust asking spiritual advice of Rev. Dr. Alice after my experience with Bob Sr. ( Doctor of Theology and Master of Divinity) and his wife Janet?"
Did not get an answer to this question of mine.
And this is not even getting into the fact that they have a son, Bert, Jr.(Master of Divinity) majoring in psychology).
Even explained to Assistant Pastor Josh some of the stories about my father (M.D. having a full time housewife R.N) and our Methodist upbringings as my rights/justification seeking these answers from Glenn Memorial "United" Methodist "Church"; that this was me giving the Methodist Church a second chance.
What better church for me to use as a second chance than one located on the campus of a secular Methodist liberal arts and science university...?
Even said to Josh as the last words we exchanged that day, after him being the one suggesting we all three were needing to meet as there was obviously a lot needing to be talk about, after him being the one declining my request this meeting between the three of us taking place at my home, after him being the one declining my suggestion we hold this meeting in Glenn's sanctuary with faculty and students invited to listen in as I needing:
"Well, I need witnesses. Will let you decide how brave you want to be."
Maybe this is what Glenn is afraid of...?
Even with a senior pastor having graduated Magna Cum Laude from Candler School of Theology...?
How can I learn the answers to these question without meeting face to face...?

"Dr. Wagner has been able to forge collaborations among a diverse array of schools and programs, ranging from the arts and sciences to the professional schools. He also had gained significant experience in raising funds from private philanthropic sources. All of these notes resonated with the priorities of the institution in 2003."
Someone needs reminding Emory's President, the Presbyterian Elder James Wagner, being "free from love of money", a "requirement" before able being "elected" a "Presbyterian Elder", not possible. And definitely not possible as the "current" "President of Emory University", a "secular" "Methodist" "Liberal Arts and Science" campus.
"You don't scare me. I have two daughters!"
Also...
James having two daughters with this wife of his who's a "seasoned" "professional" "Christian" "educator" doesn't show much of an ability holding two conflicting thoughts at the same time and still able functioning... either.
"When it comes to money, we are all of the same religion."
~Voltaire?
Anyway, the point I'm trying to make with the use of Emory's President James Wagner:
Emory "UNIVERSITY" flipped flopped all over the place with...THIS ONE...exposing a fatal flaw.
Different way of saying the same thing:
"God is a circle whose center is everywhere; circumference no where."

"Never wise one half of two equals taking advantage the upper hand; the other 'ABEL' although fair, not always raising two objections."
~Simply Jim
So much for
"Viva la Ecumenism!"
Well..am still wanting a meeting with you discussing what I'm seeing to be a serious flaw within the Methodist Church; a church in dire need of a correction.

I WANT TO KNOW WHY?!
