Our
last newsletter (June 19) incorrectly stated that Jeffery Lichtman
would serve as the Emeritus College representative to the University
Senate and Faculty Council during 2024-2025 academic year. He will
actually serve a three-year term that will end spring semester of 2028.

“Emory Master Plan Update”
Emory
University continues to evolve to meet the changing needs of its
academic, research, and healthcare stakeholders. In this presentation
you will learn more about the Emory campus master plan framework and its
focus over the next decades, including the connections between the
campus and Emory’s latest investments across metro Atlanta.
Some of the key questions that will be addressed regarding Emory’s future include:
· How does Emory conduct its long-term planning and prioritize new investments?
· How
is Emory developing on and off the Druid Hills campus to support the
academic mission and enhance a sense of community?
· How can the campus environment embrace growth sustainably?
· How
do Emory’s plans for the Briarcliff campus, Executive Park, and Oxford
College support its greater mission-driven strategy?
The
presentation will be led by Robin Lackey, Emory University Architect
and Senior Director of Project Planning and Design, and David C. Payne,
Associate Vice President for Planning and Engagement.

Emeritus College Panel Discussion -- Campus Protests | |
|
We are still looking for Panel Volunteers!
With
the interest in the events surrounding the protests on campus, we think
it might be useful to host a panel discussion on the pros and cons of
student protests. As always we would include questions and
comments from the audience. The discussion should be broader than
just the Emory protests, but of course, we expect that to be
included.
We
are still seeking volunteers to be on the panel. September 23,
2024 has been scheduled for this program -- 11:30am-1:00pm in the Luce
Center.
If you are willing to serve on the panel, please contact Ron Gould
at rg@emory.edu.

Emeritus member and former Director Gray Crouse
recently shared some interesting videos centered around the Briarcliff
Campus. I think, to a certain degree, these videos could be companion
pieces to our upcoming Lunch Colloquium lecture with Robin Lackey and
David Payne about the Emory Masterplan Update.
Two of the videos feature Emeritus Member and University Historian, Gary Hauk,
exploring and talking with Josh Newton, Sr. Vice President of
Advancement and Alumni Engagement. The third features Josh talking with
John Morey, Vice President for Campus Services, about the plans for a
senior living community.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Walking the Campus with Dianne | |
|
|
The
wonderful water feature from our last walk can be found in the School
of Medicine area on campus. The Christine K. and Thomas J. Lawley
Fountain is located behind The Woodruff Health Science Center
Administration Building (WHSCAB). The beautiful water feature was
dedicated in 2008 in recognition of their generosity and Dean Lawley's
leadership of the School of Medicine.
It's
a great place to sit and relax. It's also quite lovely in the evening
hours when the lights are on, as pictured in the bottom right photo.
| |
|
It
is still extremely hot and humid here in Atlanta so I'm going to hang
out at another water fountain. This one is in a much quieter,
less-traveled spot on campus and an absolutely perfect place to relax
and cool off.

Where will you find this on the Emory campus?
