“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?
