RESEARCH
Emory begins Phase III study of Novavax COVID-19 vaccine
The clinical trial tests a protein-based COVID-19 vaccine and aims to enroll up to 30,000 participants in the U.S. and Mexico. The trial expects to include proportional representation among populations most vulnerable to COVID-19 across race, ethnicity, age and those living with co-morbidities.

 

LEADERSHIP
President Gregory L. Fenves speaks out against violence at the U.S. Capitol
The violence Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol is antithetical to our democracy with its history of peaceful transfer of power based on the vote of the people. The Emory community stands united by the ideals of freedom, justice and liberty.

 

RECOGNITION
Submit nominations for MLK Community Service Awards by Jan. 8
Goizueta Business School, Rollins School of Public Health and the School of Medicine seek nominations for the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Awards, honoring outstanding responses to the twin pandemics of COVID-19 and systemic racism. Nominations of individuals or groups are due Jan. 8; the virtual ceremony is Jan. 22.
