RESEARCH Emory Antibiotic Resistance Center: Battling 'super-bugs' to save a medical miracle Since its formation, the Emory Antibiotic Resistance Center has been battling a foe that threatens many of the modern miracles of medicine: the rise of bacterial strains resistant to multiple forms of antibiotics, including so-called "drugs of last resort." ENGAGEMENT Emory students organize model World Health Organization Nearly 200 college students from as far away as Afghanistan visit Emory this weekend to take up one of the world's greatest health threats: antimicrobial resistance. Drawing on Emory's strengths in the field, the conference helps students focus on international public health issues. TEACHING Unprecedented election cycle provides focus for courses As voters nationwide try to make sense of the 2016 presidential election, Emory College faculty are teaching courses to help students understand the history and context of current political battles. THEOLOGY Exhibit, events focus on anniversary of the Reformation Candler's Pitts Theology Library has been selected as one of just three U.S. sites to exhibit items related to Martin Luther in celebration of the upcoming 500th anniversary of the Reformation. ARTS Emory Dance hosts Israeli artists for EXPOSED Festival The Emory Dance program and Candler Concert Series welcome a host of Israeli guest artists Oct. 13-29 as a part of "EXPOSED," a six-week contemporary dance and physical theater festival. ACHIEVEMENT The Task Force for Global Health receives world's largest humanitarian prize The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation has awarded the Task Force for Global Health with the Hilton Humanitarian Prize, which includes $2 million in funding. An affiliate of Emory, the Task Force is a pioneer in global health and currently reaches hundreds of millions of people in 151 countries.
