The Legacy of Roberto C. Goizueta
Roberto C. Goizueta was a Cuban-American visionary and role model who forged his way into corporate America to bring about unforgettable and lasting value. Our namesake was one of the great business leaders of the 20th century. During his 16-year tenure at The Coca Cola Company, Roberto Goizueta increased its value from $4 billion to $145 billion — ensuring its place among "America's Most Admired Corporations," as listed by Fortune. While building the business, Roberto Goizueta also contributed substantially to the progress of Emory and the business school. Throughout his life, Roberto Goizueta was driven by curiosity, intellectual courage, and integrity. We are honored to share his name and live out his values, which form the cornerstone of our educational approach and are fundamental to our mission to educate the best of tomorrow's leaders.

If you’re ready to learn how to be a business innovator in a global city, this is it. Go disrupt. Go create. Go reimagine. Go innovate.
ONE CITY, MANY EXPERIENCES
-
The Cultural Capital of the South
Atlanta is at the center of the South. With a thriving music scene, an exponentially growing movie industry, world-renowned restaurants and breweries, beloved sports teams, artists both emerging and established, and an ever-growing diverse population, Atlanta isn’t just the cultural hub of the South, it’s becoming a major cultural hub in the U.S. -
Where City and Nature Coexists
This isn't a concrete jungle. While there are sidewalks and buildings a-plenty, this city still manages to keep its canopy and green spaces thriving. Forests, national parks, rivers, mountains — Atlanta has it all. Its blend of city and serenity makes it the best of both worlds. -
A Place to Really Live
With average rent prices much lower than other cities, the best thing about living in Atlanta is that you’ll have the financial freedom to truly enjoy all it has to offer. Take a visit and experience Atlanta for yourself.
