RESEARCH
COVID-19 vaccine tested at Emory spurs immune response in older adults
A Phase 1 trial of an investigational mRNA vaccine to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection has shown that the vaccine is well tolerated and generates a strong immune response in older adults. Emory was one of three sites in the nation to enroll adults ages 56 and older as part of the trial.

 

WELLNESS
Find ways to 'Refresh from Stress' even in challenging times
The Faculty Staff Assistance Program and Healthy Emory are partnering once again on 'Refresh from Stress: 30-day Inspiration' to encourage faculty and staff to take simple steps toward improving stress management and resilience. The program runs during October.

 

SUSTAINABILITY
Emory compost streams temporarily diverted to landfills
Although Emory's compost is currently being sent to landfills after the vendors that handle it were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone is encouraged to keep sorting trash in the recycle, compost and landfill bins while Campus Services negotiates with new vendors.

CREATIVITY
October brings the arts to all with virtual concerts, theater productions and more
October arts activities at Emory include a free virtual concert featuring internationally acclaimed flutist, saxophone player and pianist Jane Bunnett Cuban with the award-winning jazz ensemble Maqueque on Oct. 2.
