Now in its sixth year, the Emory-Tibet Science Initiative has expanded the horizons of knowledge for both monastics and Western scholars. Emory's commitment to creating an ongoing and sustainable program realizes the Dalai Lama's vision of a comprehensive science education within the monastic curriculum. By bringing together the tools of modern science with time-tested Buddhist contemplative knowledge, more can be done to help relieve suffering around the world.

When Robert A. Paul completed his term as dean of Emory College in spring 2010, the University honored him for his visionary leadership by renaming the initiative the "Robert A. Paul Emory-Tibet Science Initiative."
