CAMPUS NEWS Coca-Cola CEO Roberto Goizueta left his mark on Emory, Atlanta and the world Master planning process moves into precinct studies stage Emory, Oxford chaplains hold faculty meeting to discuss chapels Issues in Progress Unshelved Electronic processes will streamline purchasing and paying Teaching Pairs prove useful on many levels Orthodox Christian leader to visit Emory Atlanta and Emory will be the sixth stop on a 15-city tour marking the first pastoral visit ever to this country by His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, Archbishop of Constantinople and New Rome, the theological leader of the world's 300 million Orthodox Christians. His All Holiness will attend a luncheon in his honor on campus at noon Friday, Oct. 31, with about 100 invited campus guests at the Woodruff Health Sciences Center Administration Building. He also will receive the President's Medal from President Bill Chace. Commissioned in 1995, the President's Medal is conferred only on individuals whose impact on the world has enhanced the dominion of peace or has enlarged the range of cultural achievement. Analogous to the honorary degree, the President's Medal is one of the two highest honors granted by Emory. The medal was first presented in 1995 to His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet; the second was awarded in 1996 to President Carlos Menem of Argentina. Employees are advised that access to WHSCAB will be restricted during the luncheon, and the parking lot adjacent to the building will be closed. Those wishing to see His All Holiness may gather outside WSHCAB's Clifton Road entrance prior to the noon luncheon, said John Skandalakis, director of the Centers for Surgical Anatomy and Technique in the School of Medicine and general chairman of the patriarchal visit to the Atlanta diocese.
