We got game: How Emory became a sports powerhouse
It’s College Colors Day! As you celebrate your Emory spirit, take an in-depth look at the university’s rise in Division III athletics and why our model for student-athlete success — where winning, academic excellence and full engagement in college life aren’t competing priorities — works so well.
High-dose vitamin D may improve cognition among those at risk of dementia
A study of adults with sleep disturbances and mild cognitive impairments (two hallmarks of early dementia) showed that participants taking higher amounts of vitamin D daily had higher cognitive scores. Victoria Pak of the School of Nursing led the study.
Nepal Flooding: Community Gathering for Support and Response
Wednesday, Sept. 9, Noon, Cannon Chapel
In the wake of the devastating disaster in Nepal, the Emory community is invited to gather in remembrance of those who have lost their lives, in solidarity with all who are grieving, and in support of those affected by displacement and widespread devastation.
There will be time for reflection, prayer, chanting and community. Refreshments will follow, and information about relief-fund initiatives and opportunities to support recovery efforts will also be shared. Presented with the support of CAPS, FSAP, Emory Buddhist Club, Hindu Students Association, Emory-Tibet Science Initiative and ISSS. For more information, please contact religiouslife@emory.edu.
