In 2019, Emory University's Goizueta Business School celebrates its 100th anniversary. This milestone recognizes years of excellence and tens of thousands of dynamic, talented people. The ones who innovate today's businesses. The ones who educate tomorrow's leaders. The ones who elevate humanity for the benefit of more than themselves. In the months leading to our centennial, this site will feature 100 stories of grit, passion, and inspiration that embody who we are today and compel us to continue going further. Go be empowered. Go be creative. Go be empathetic. So long as you Go Beyond. This anniversary is for Goizueta and those committed to the continual pursuit of better.
