Over the past eight years, the Rollins School of Public Health
and its students have sponsored full day celebrations to honor the
memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. which included
recognizing and presenting awards to community groups which advance the
ideals and mission of Dr. King.
In 1999, the Rollins School of Public Health was joined by the
Goizueta Business School and its students in co-sponsoring
a one day celebration on Thursday, January 21, 1999.
An Interactive Exhibit was presented,
in the Goizueta Business School Student Commons,
where the nominated organizations presented information about their
activities. Everyone then attended the
Martin Luther
King, Jr. Community Service Awards Ceremony in the Auditorium - Room
130 at the Goizueta Business School. The Awards Ceremony was followed by
a catered reception. Emory University also presented many other
events around the campus as part of it's
1999 King Week celebration.
Specifically, we intend to honor groups by making awards to selected
organizations and/or agencies that meet the criteria in the areas of: (1)
economic development and/or (2) community empowerment. In this context,
economic development is defined as organizations or agencies that have
contributed to the initiation of new businesses and/or the creation of jobs for
disenfranchised citizens in the community. The community empowerment criterion
involves organizations and/or agencies that have contributed significantly to
the economic, housing, health, educational plight, and self-sufficiency of the
disenfranchised residents of the metropolitan Atlanta community.
Co-sponsored by the
Rollins School of Public Health
and Goizueta Business
School.
