Alumni Weekend 1999 brought nearly three thousand alumni to Emory in late September to rekindle old friendships, meet new school leaders, and explore a campus that has changed substantially in recent years. The annual Emory Medal Awards Presentation brought out such celebrities as Kenneth Cole ’76C (left) and Civil War historian Shelby Foote. The weekend concluded with another Emory tradition, Lullwater Day, when students and alumni picnic in the park and enjoy live entertainment by student groups such as No Strings Attached and the juggling troupe Eatus (pronounced ay-ah-TOOS). After the performance, juggler Elliott Ribman (right) takes a break to chat with a future Emory alumnus.
