TEACHING For Emory undergrads, learning new perspectives on health is easy as 1, 2, 3 To change the way college students talk about health, the first step is for students to do the talking. That's the innovative approach of Emory's peer-taught Health 1,2,3 Program. SCHOLARSHIP 'Executing Freedom' examines the evolving role of the death penalty Emory history professor Daniel LaChance's debut book looks at more than 50 years of shifting American culture and how it has altered perceptions of the death penalty. LITERATURE Poets Emily Leithauser, Richie Hofmann to give free reading Two poets with Emory connections will present a free reading and discussion on April 25 in the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives and Rare Book Library.

Sterk and time to talk informally with Sterk and other university leaders.
